Dinky world

I spent a good part of New Year's Eve photographing Dinky Toys . These are metal cars, trucks, farm implements and army vehicles made by Meccano Ltd. in England from the 1940's and 1950's. I'm probably going to put them up for auction at some point in the future, but for now, instead of finding out what I'm thinking about today, I'm putting them on the blog to see a tiny lead-painted world that we're long gone from....

thanks for sharing those. my first thought was that i can picture tintin standing by or riding in any of those. that really takes me back several decades almost as much as music does.
