Yard sale find: die cast cars.
So my landlord decided to redo the roof last week, he tore off the shingles Thursday and Friday. Saturday morning, 4:30 am, we wake up to find water dripping out of the light fixture onto our bed. Of course, it was raining. One of the things this prompted me to do was clear off a shelf in a closet (to get to the attic). I found a box of Matchbox, Husky, Corgi and Tootsie toy die cast cars that I had bought at a yard sale a couple years ago. The guy wanted a dollar a piece, I paid $20 for all (48 pieces). I’ll post pic of some of the nice/rare ones soon. Here’s poorly lit shot of a few.
In the foreground is a studebaker film car, behind you can see 2 Monkees GTO wagons from the tv show as well as a “Man from U.N.C.L.E” and James Bond car (they have a missile launcher and ejection seat, respectively, with several missiles and ejectees).
