We've been doing our attic out and I came across a box of my old toy cars. Every shape, style, colour and brand you can imagine hides within this beaten up box - I remember playing with them like it was just yesterday.
I've decided keep hold of some favourites and donate the rest to charity, so they can continue on their life journey of being lovingly bashed around 24/7. First shared on Instagram.
Which toys or objects remind you of your childhood?
Is that supposed to be an Air France airport transit bus? haha...these cars are so detailed!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I had that exact ambulance as a toy growing up!
ReplyDeleteI remember me and my brother had a bucket of these metal toys, not idea what happened to them though sadly. I loved the ones with the opening and closing doors - so cool! Good on you for donating too, I hope they end up in good hands!
ReplyDeleteOh these are cool, I love coming across things from when I was little. Not sure if I had many toy cars though!
ReplyDeleteWould not believe, but I have that same Paramedics truck!
ReplyDeleteReally? Someone else said this on Instagram too! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHard to get rid of aren't they, but they need someone to play with them!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a few of us, look at the other comments!
ReplyDeleteBit wacky isn't it, unsure why I had it!
ReplyDeleteThey long to be bashed about!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I love them. And an Air France bus... my favorite! Probably because I have never seen one (not exactly a popular toy in South and North America).
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an odd thing to have in the UK I guess too! Reckon it was part of a set
ReplyDeletelove. these remind me of my brother's old collection! he kept them and gave them to his son and he now loves playing with them. i can't believe my brother still had them. my favorites are these two steiff teddy bears i got as a little child in the early eighties. it still has "made in west germany" on the tag as i got them when germany was still split.
ReplyDeleteSteiff Bears are lovely, very precious things. We to have a few things that are Made in West Germany too. My uncle was stationed over there in the early 80s and he used to bring us things back. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Wow, yes things like these are certainly great for memories. Love these. Makes me want to go through my brother's old toys cars and even comic books, some are still in boxes at my parents place, since we moved a lot growing up.
ReplyDeleteThese are such collectibles! The best thing about old toy cars is that they're made of metal and therefore much more sturdier than the plastic ones they make nowadays. Much more fun to crash into each other that way. Good on you for donating the lot!

ReplyDeleteye! ACE!
ReplyDeleteWell these ones are probably 25 years-old and there's still plenty of years in them. They're well based but only superficial.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah comics! I was never huge on comics as a kid but since I got into my 20s I started to read them. Love their illustrations, especially Tintin.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any old toys but I saved a few books to pass on to my kid. My husband on the other hand saved a few cars and tiny super heroes and we're thrilled to see our boy play with them!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet and perfect too, just how it's meant to be.
ReplyDeleteAww love this Mat! So cute and really sweetly photographed. I LOVE a good loft rummage!! x
ReplyDeleteThe biggest mistake it to hang onto them when you know you won't use them, you did the right thing at the time!
ReplyDeleteOh you!
