A collection of vintage style die-cast model vehicles primarily representing veteran and early 20th-century automotive designs. The assortment features approximately twenty miniature cars constructed from die-cast metal bodies with plastic components including gold-tone wheels, roofs, and trim. One white cardboard box is printed with a logo reading “Reader’s Digest” alongside the reference “41-607”. The vehicles are housed in vacuum-formed plastic trays.
The lot also includes a Frondini Collection Ladies Interchangeable Watch Set in a pink presentation case. This set comprises a gold-tone watch head, eleven assorted coloured straps, and various bezels. The accompanying paperwork includes a “Guarantee” card and an multi-language instruction sheet. The collection is completed by a series of card-mounted and framed philatelic displays featuring British commemorative stamps with map, equestrian, and transport themes, alongside two boxed souvenir spoons, one of which is housed in a case marked “SILVERPLATE”.
