Lot 144: An Assortment of Vintage and Promotional Toy Vehicles and Related Collectables
A varied collection of vintage and retro-style toy vehicles, novelty items, and associated ephemera. The lot includes a large tinplate biscuit tin manufactured for Marks & Spencer, styled as a mid-century delivery van. This tin is finished in a green and cream livery with printed illustrations of drivers and passengers; text on the side reads MARKS & SPENCER COOKIE SELECTION and the roof features the phrase …too good to share!. The collection also contains several metal vehicle bodies and chassis, including a bronze-toned vintage car shell, a silver-toned open-top model, a dark truck cab in the style of a Ford Model T, and a small grey streamlined car. A novelty container made of clear pressed glass in the shape of an early motor car is present, alongside a second amber-toned glass vehicle. Accompanying items include a small cardboard box printed with The WINNER and a racing car illustration, and a black and white photograph of figures from a vintage period.
