A gift from my Dad...

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. 
Posted Image

Gasp!! It's bubble wrap!! (which Tatum loves)
Posted Image

Tatum decided he wanted to be in the box...it's his way of helping. 
Posted Image

After I shoo'ed Tatum out of the box, this is what I saw...
Posted Image

Lots and list of bubble wrap...and a super-happy kitty cat.
Posted Image

The case is fairly good shape considering Dad's co-worker has had it since he was a child...

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).

Support your local demo derby.

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.
