My Dad called and told me a box was coming...he said that it had some Matchbox cars that he bought from a co-worker. As you can see, my cat Tatum, was just as excited as me to see the contents. After it arrived... ![]() An old pillow as packing material, and an exercise ball. Tatum really liked the lid. ![]() Gasp!! It's bubble wrap!! (which Tatum loves) ![]() Tatum decided he wanted to be in the box...it's his way of helping. ![]() After I shoo'ed Tatum out of the box, this is what I saw... ![]() Lots and list of bubble wrap...and a super-happy kitty cat. ![]() The case is fairly good shape considering Dad's co-worker has had it since he was a child... ![]() Side one contents... ![]() Side two contents... ![]() I'll post individual pics as I sort through them because there are some definite beauties in this collection. And of course a great big THANK YOU to my Dad. As always, thanks for looking. :wave: |

A very nice and special gift from your dad. Glad Tatum had an enjoyable time with the box contents (other than the Matchbox, of course). |

Receiving the case in of itself would have been an occasion for three cheers. The fact it was full of mint Lesney era models is 100x better! |

What a lovely gift. Cars for you and a box and bubble wrap for Tatum. I'm guessing you're both chuffed. |
