When I was a child growing up in my home
country of England, the highlight of my week was collecting my 'pocket money'
and going to Bakers Model shop in Canterbury Street, Gillingham, Kent, to buy
another Dinky Toy to add to my collection. They cost around 2/6d (about 12
cents in USD) for the average car.
If I still had those models in mint
condition and in original boxes, I could sell them for HUGE amounts nowadays.
Sadly, I do not, but that doesn't stop me from still collecting these wonderful
little toy cars even now.
Just a few of my own collection and yes, I
know two of them are Corgi Toys. They were the new kids on the block way back
then and were just as exciting but Dinky Toys still have pride of place in my
heart!

model cars!
