Your husband has a decent collection for sure and those are worth quite a bit these days. I managed to squirrel some stuff away over the years including cars and comics. The comics I have over 7000 war comics all boxed away and hoping one day they will be fairly valuable. Early ones are from 1952 and you just don't see them anymore.

How cool are these toys, Joan? @joanstewart These are truly awesome! My brothers had Hot Wheels, but, later in years than these and they didn't have their own boxes! I love that yours did. That makes them even more special. I looked up just the jaguar and it looks like it is worth a bit of money, how fun will that be finding the right person that will pay its value. I just looked up the American version of them (Matchbox) and was shocked! They did have boxes, but, only up until 1969 or1970, so says Google.

There are a number of Matchbox models that could be worth thousands of dollars; especially if they were issued in the '60s and they're in great shape. I found some [here](https://wealthygorilla.com/most-expensive-matchbox-cars/) in 2018, seems they were worth much more. Must have been more money back then. I have also saved little things like this from when my kids were small, metal Tonka Trucks(they are all plastic now) and the requisite Barbie dolls... but, I don't see young people saving things as we did if my older nieces and nephew are an example. They seem to like new. :/ Anyway, it was so fun to read your post and look up our own version of these things.  :) Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see so many participating every week. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for it.

lovely. As a boy I had so many similar toys, and as boys do they rip open the packaging and bin it. Bash the toys about and play with them until something more new and shiny arrives. If only we knew then what we knew now!!!

Hello dear friend @joanstewart good afternoon
How many memories have you brought to my mind?
What a beautiful collection you have here; That's very nice of you, auctioning it off so others can play with them.
I appreciate you letting us know about this beautiful collection.
enjoy the weekend

Lol am too young to know those toys 😃

Very nice collection, Joan, I wished I had taken more care of my toys, but I don't think there's anything left from the things we have been playing with as kids 😭

I have no idea what happened to mine from when I was a kid - perhaps @galenkp sold them all for HIVE ;D

My collections of Hot Wheels has no end I think I have every model they ever built my dad use to take me to these stores and he would buy two or three of them every weekend and I them all put away still in there boxes apart from many more model cars he bought me just to name some the Ford GTHO Phase III , Holden Monaro's GTS's , Corvettes, Mustang's the list goes on....

Very nice. I have a couple of old toy cars, too... But they were from my mom when she was a kid. Mine and my brother's, unfortunately, weren't Proof of Brat. 😆
