Always come home from Sandown with something interesting. This time there’s a tinplate Adler Sport, obviously German but no maker’s mark. Then there’s a cute, cartoonish cop car from Marusan of Japan, and a few badges of which the International Harvester one is quite scarce

Picked up this old battery operated light & managed to get it working again, I'm not sure if it Railway related or French road works warning light. Any help would be much appreciated 🤔 #WhatsInYourShed

Been busy polishing these brass hub caps off a Willys-Knight. Willys-Knight only produced cars from 1914 to 1933 in Ohio. #MotoringHistory #WhatsInYourShed

People across social media have asked me how I managed to get the colour back into this old French tinplate Joustra bus. I simply used a fine wirewool & a light aerosol oil plus a little time! #HistoryBehideTheToys #WhatsInYourShed

Picked up a couple of French petrol cans today & an old paraffin lamp to add into the collection. The can on the left is marked STELLINE L.B.C & on the bottom 6 25 I'm not sure if this is the same as Valor cans with the month & year date? #MotoringHistory #WhatsInYourShed

Only a handful of these early Triang Lines Bros fire trucks are known to excise so I'm pleased to add this one into the collection. #HistoryBehideTheToys #WhatsInYourAttic
