Though I have a fairly large collection of diecast models, these three battered relics (2 Matchbox and a Hot Wheels) are the few actual ones from my childhood.
Damn that looks fine!I have one I bought at estate sale ten years ago.
What will you use to clean it?
My glove is the Bob Feller model made
in USA.
It's still has the soft leather.

This is an image from the web, but this is
what I have in the same leather condition.
Thanks!

Our childhoods and family history for over 40 years was captured by my grandfather on slides. I loved to get out the projector and screen and look at them. People who were then old or already passed showed up as young. Trips and every day activities were interesting. When he died my grandmother threw most of them out. I salvaged very few.My father took hundreds of 35mm slides in the 1960s - 80s.
Spent a week a few years back copying them into digital computer files.

I was there for a lot of it and I remember. However, I have very little to show my kids from the past. Not that they particularly care anyway. Interest in such things seems to have declined.
