Description
An assortment of items comprising promotional die-cast models, decorative figurines, and traditional tools. The collection includes a Mobil branded die-cast Bugatti Type 35 in a window display box and a Laing liveried die-cast dump truck with a red cab and yellow tipping body. Also present is a silver-tone die-cast double-decker bus featuring an integrated analogue clock face. Decorative objects include a large grey composite figurine of a recumbent elephant, a bronze-finish athletic trophy featuring a male figure atop a base with the initials GTW, and several small timepieces including an ornate white and gold-tone carriage-style clock and a floral-patterned mantel clock on a green ground. A red commemorative tin depicts Queen Elizabeth II flanked by Union Jack flags. Miscellaneous items include a pair of Mil-Tec steel handcuffs in original packaging, a black leather wallet, and brass-coloured figurines including a cow. Tools include a wooden marking gauge and a vintage metal can opener with a turned wooden handle.
Measuring tape visible in background shows markings from 17 to 21 inches.
Condition report:
Items are in varying vintage condition. The boxed Bugatti model remains well preserved within its original packaging. The Laing dump truck exhibits minor paint wear and surface loss consistent with age and play. Metal items show some surface tarnishing and oxidation. Wood and resin components appear structurally sound but exhibit minor surface abrasions. The mechanical movements of the clocks and the functional aspects of the tools and toys have not been tested.
