The Latham Collection of Diecast Models in January auction

Happy new year to all of our customers and vendors!

The new year is off to a great start for us here at Aston’s Toy Auctions, with the fantastic Latham Collection of Diecast Models coming up in our 23^rd January auction. The vendor originally called us and said they had some boxes of toys that they’d found while clearing a relatives house, so imagine our surprise when it turned out to be two whole vans full!

The collection includes a wide range of different diecast models, mostly in excellent condition. Let’s take a look at some of the items on offer…

Lot 272a is six Solido 1:43 scale model Ferraris, in presentation tins, and included in a trade box. The artwork on the outer sleeves is fantastic.

 These 1:18 scale Paul’s Model Art McLaren Collection models in lot 319 are just one of the great lots available for Formula 1 fans.

There’s a huge amount of modern Corgi, with something for everyone. Lot 466 includes ten Premium Edition British Road Services models.

 Lot 497 includes eight Matchbox carry cases packed full with models!

We have a full set of ten Matchbox Mega-Blasters Cap Cars in lot 520, which the packaging tells us are ‘Super Fast Super Blast Diecast Fun’.

Lot 540 is made up of Corgi Juniors Ford Mustang Baseball Trading Cards, which were issued in the USA.

There are plenty of Matchbox Superfast models up for grabs, such as the 18 models shown here in lot 587.

Lot 613 is one of two Corgi Massey-Ferguson 165 Tractors with Saw Attachments in this sale.

Lot 616 is a Corgi Whizzwheels James Bond model, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 featured in Diamonds are Forever. 

The Corgi Batmobile is a classic toy, and this one in lot 628 is complete with Batman, Robin, secret instructions and rockets.
