Pre-war Dinky Toys Delivery Van Sets could reach ﬁve ﬁgures

each at Special Auction Services.

DELIVERING

THE GOODS

FOR the ﬁrst time ever two

exceptionally rare Dinky

Toys Delivery Van sets are

going under the hammer in

the same auction. The sale

in question is taking place

at Special Auction Services

in Newbury on 19th

November and specialist

toy expert Hugo Marsh

is particularly excited

about the opportunity for

collectors.

These

two

pre-war

sets were ﬁrst released

80 years ago. The ﬁrst

(numbered

A1008)

contains:

28a

Hornby

Trains, 28b Pickfords, 28c

Manchester

Guardian,

28d OXO, 28e Ensign

Lukos and 28f Palethorpes

Sausages. While the second

(also numbered A1008,

confusingly)

has

28g

Kodak, 28h Sharp’s Toffees,

28k Marsh & Baxter, 28L

Crawford’s Biscuits, 28m

Wakeﬁeld’s Castrol and 28n

Meccano.

“To my knowledge these

two sets have never been

offered together in the

same auction,” explained

specialist Hugo Marsh.

“They

the

collections of two very ﬁne

AUCTION PREVIEW

his issue while writing a feature on Gerry Anderson, I

was reminded of what a powerful impact his work has

had on generations. Whether you watched

Four Feather

Falls

in the early 1960s,

Terrahawks

in the '80s or even

the re-issues of

Thunderbirds

et all in the 1990s, it's likely that

Gerry Anderson's output has had a signiﬁcant impact on your

life... even if you don't collect the toys inspired by his work.

Humming a theme tune, mentioning a key phrase or talking about

a particular character immediately evokes powerful images of some

fantastic television series. However, what amazed me particularly

the other day was when I overheard someone talking about their

Thunderbirds

toys. "Oh yeah, I had the original vintage Thunderbirds

Tracy Island," he said conﬁdently. Although, as lifelong Anderson

collectors will know, the 'vintage' Tracy Island he was referring to was

actually the Matchbox version released in the early 1990s but for this

chap in his early 20s, this was the toy he grew up with, so it must

have seemed positively ancient. I think this goes to show the lasting

appeal of Gerry Anderson's work and, even though many of his best

shows are now in their 50s, they've aged superbly and if some of us

look that good in our 50s and upwards, then we'll be rather chuffed.

But the appeal of Gerry Anderson is still strong, despite his death

in 2012, and his son has taken over the baton for future Anderson

projects. In 2015 to mark the 50th anniversary of

Thunderbirds,

Anderson's most successful show, ITV is planning to create an

entirely new series using a mix of computer generated images and

live action. But that's not all, just as we were heading to press there

was the rather exciting announcement that Anderson Entertainment

is planning to create a brand new show called

Firestorm

that will

be ﬁlmed in Ultramarionation and will feature a mix of puppets,

miniatures and practical effects. Who knows, perhaps in 50 years

collectors will be talking about their favourite

Firestorm

toys?

Auction Services.

collectors, John Westcombe

and Julien Loffet, both of

whom sadly died recently.

Each set is estimated at £8,000

to £10,000.”

However, these aren’t the

only interesting lots coming

up in the auction, as Hugo

explains. “On the strength of

the above I engaged in a little

gentle arm twisting on a long-

standing client whose family

were Triumph distributors in

the 1950s and ‘60s. They had

received an incredible trade

box of 12 Dinky Toys Triumph

2000s and each one was in

special Triumph colours and

each had a different label -

although one has fallen off in

the last 51 years.

“As a young man our

client decided to keep this

box, which was a wise move

because we have estimated

it at £8,000 to £10,000. I

believe that if it sells it will

be the most valuable post-

war Dinky set or trade box

ever sold at auction.”

Finally

Hugo

added

that although the label on

the trade box shows the

return address as Standard

Triumph in Coventry, it

was actually posted from

the Dinky factory on Binns

Road, Liverpool – something

Hugo has seen before on

promotional items.

IT’S that time of year again,

as we prepare to launch the

Toy Collectors Price Guide

2015.

Just in case you’ve

never heard of the

Guide,

brings together thousands

of results from auctioneers

around the globe to give you

an estimate of what your

collectables could be worth.

It’s

split

into

clear

categories, so whether you

enjoy

collecting

diecast

vehicles, model railways,

tinplate,

and

ﬁlm

memorabilia, toy soldiers or

just general toys and games,

you’ll ﬁnd some fascinating

results within its pages.

Even better, this year’s

edition is going to be a

bumper issue spread across

a whopping 148 pages, which

means you’ll be getting even

more informative results.

For example, compared to

the previous 2014 edition,

the diecast section has

increased from 18 pages to

32 and model railways now

stretches to 20.

Once again, if you’re

just starting out with your

collection, there are handy

introductions to big names

in collecting and, if you’re a

TV and ﬁlm collector, there’s

a section dedicated to

Star

Wars

– ensuring the Force

will always be with your

collection.

Finally we’re introducing

a new section that rounds up

some of the prices achieved

for collectables on eBay. The

online marketplace is one of

the key places to buy and sell

collectables, so we thought

it was important to highlight

prices achieved on the site.

Toy Collectors Price Guide

2015

will be available on

14th November and costs

£6.99.

As part of its silver jubillee

auctions, Vectis sold a very

rare Frenchy Dinky No. 561

Citroen type H Van 'Baroclem'.

It was issued as a promotional

item for the French car battery

company. Estimated at an

impressive £3,800 to £4,400,

the hammer fell on £5,200 -

well over that top estimate. In

superb condition, it even came

with the black plastic battery

box packaging. Electrifying!

No, that's not a photograph from the upcoming

Star Wars

ﬁlms,

it is in fact a picture of two toys based on Han Solo and Chewbacca

created by Hot Toys. After announcing it had acquired the

Star

Wars

licence earlier this year, Hot Toys is hitting the ground running

by producing two of the fan favourites from the early ﬁlms and

these 1/6 scale action ﬁgures are incredibly lifelike. Both come with

numerous accessories and can be posed in a number of different

positions, thanks to dozens of articulation points. If this is the

standard of Hot Toys'

Star Wars

products, then we hope it also

turns its attention to the likes of Boba Fett and Darth Vader, Plus...

would it be too much to expect 1/6 scale vehicles?

LONG LIVE THE KING

Following some speculation, the designers at Hornby have

announced they are indeed developing a GWR 6000 'King' Class

locomotive; C.B. Collett's powerful passenger loco that saw action

from 1927 until 1962. Currently Hornby's ﬁrst, fully detailed,

Hornby King will be available from the third quarter in 2015

and further models will follow later that year. The 2015 Hornby

models will be R3331 GWR 4-6-0 'King James' 6000 Class (RRP

£159.99), R3332 BR 4-6-0 'King Edward VIII' 6000 Class BR Late

(RRP £159.99) and R3370TTS BR 4-6-0 'King Richard II' 6000

Class BR Early featuring TTS sound (RRP £179.99).

WITTY WINGS CLOSES

Speculation had been circulating for some time that Witty Wings

was experiencing some problems in the Far East but it's now been

conﬁrmed by UK distributor Clevelands Diecast that the ﬁrm has

gone out of business. The two Euroﬁghter Typhoons are the last

models to leave the factory and there will be no more. No future

releases of Witty/Sky Guardians 1/72 aircraft or Witty and Apollo

400 civil aircraft will be made. All back orders for these items have

been cancelled. Please note this closure does not affect either

Aviation 72 or Sky Guardians Europe tooling as these are not part

of the same factory set up.

THE GAUGE

OF QUALITY

DREWEATTS

and

Bloomsbury Auctions has

recently auctioned off

the late Dennis Brown

Collection of Gauge One

Locomotives as part of

its

Transport

Auction

on 10th September at

the Donnington Priory

saleroom in Berkshire.

Dennis was a well-

known long-time member

of the Gauge One Model

Railways

Association,

running the models he

built all around the North

and East of England.

Born in 1924, Dennis

attended an engineering

apprenticeship

with

Marshalls of Gainsborough,

before serving in the Royal

Navy during the Second

World War. After the war

he returned to engineering

and, in retirement took up

building and running gauge

one locomotives.

His collection just oozed

quality and included many

fantastic pieces. Top among

these was a well-engineered

model of a 5-inch gauge

Great Western Railway

4-6-0 tender locomotive

‘Torquay Manor’, No. 7800,

built to the Martin Evans

design. Measuring 168cm

long with a 24cm wide cab,

this impressive beast sold

for £6,500.

An equally impressive

example was an exhibition-

quality model of the

rarely seen 3.5-inch gauge

Southern Class S15 4-6-0

tender locomotive ‘Greene

King’ No. 481 built by the

award-winning builder Mr.

J. Wingate of Winchester.

Measuring 119cm long

and complete with its own

glazed display case, it made

a king’s ransom of £5,000.

ARE YOU A COLLECTAHOLIC?

RDF Television is currently looking for avid collectors to take part

in the second series of

Collectaholics.

The show was a bit of a

hit when it launched on BBC2 last year but in the next series

the producers are keen to celebrate people and their collections,

rather than just try to put a valuation on pieces in a collection. If

you've got an amazing collection and would like to feature on

television, then make sure you get in touch. You can either email

collectaholics@rdftelevision.com

or call

0207 0134122.

Just leave

your name, contact number and details about your collection.
