Collection for sale (4 Viewers)

[sarge]

I haven’t really done anything with the toy soldier hobby in years, I fear, having been fully occupied by model railways and full-sized sportscars. It’s probably time someone enjoyed this stuff again, so I’m selling the lot. If it had a box, they still have a box, but not all of it does. I’d like to shift it in one lot by local pickup rather than spend lots of time selling by the piece, wrapping, and shipping, so a buyer who can travel to south central Pennsylvania is sought. I’ll help you pack it up after you look at it and buy it.


The largest component is this display, a tacit nod to the parade leaving Horse Guards after the Trooping of the Colour, mostly Britains glossy though a fair number of the bandsmen are of another maker whose name escapes me at the moment. Kings Troop RHA with two guns headed to the park, Life Guards and Blues & Royals headed back to barracks, then HM at the head of her Guards preceded by pipes and band. Bullpup era with HM in a carriage.Nine square foot display (Here, cased on three shelves 12”x36”) consists of:
83 horse
141 foot
2 sets guns, limbers, and teams
1 set carriage, driver, horses, HM the Queen
8 sentry boxes


Also included are a dozen or so of the larger matte Corgi Icons, all Guards subjects, and
some odd sets and individual pieces. There are parts and sundry to be included; bits to paint, solder, and restore. $2200 for all of it.


Not included but also going, if anyone knows of someone who collects or deals in vintage Dinky, Britains, Corgi, &c, military vehicles and artillery, Britains farm, vintage large Matchbox, and more modern Corgi diecast, I have a good bit of that I’d like to shift, too.

After an eight month hiatus, we'll give it one more go. Dropping the pricing a bit to $1500 or make an offer on the items in the first posting.

Best to all,

The Gettysburg show is next month, 23 April '23, and this collection is about 30 minutes away.

I've not thought further on this until the other day, so I'll sell the collection for an even grand USD and include the Britains artillery, farm pieces, Dinky and Corgi vehicles in both vintage and recent diecast. It really would be much nicer to get this back in circulation. I can be available the week before the show, the afternoon after, or the Monday after. PM or email if interested, please.

Best to all!

Everything is sold save the Trooping display itself, thanks.

Hopefully these somewhat better photos will show on this posting. If interested in this display at $750 cash on pick up 20 minutes or so from the Gettysburg show (the show on 23April) or make arrangements at some other time to suit, PM or email at "mind the cat" (all run together with no spaces) at comcast dot-net.
