Love Kaya's car collection. We used to call them dinky toys 😆

I had about 100 of them when I was a kid, but they all ended up in the landfill as I got older. They were still in great condition, and if I’d known their value, I could have made a decent amount from some of them. Back then, though, no one realized they would become collectors’ items. I had some Pez candy dispensers as well.

Dinky, Matchbox and Corgi were all British owned and made back in the day, Dinky are long gone, although Atlas Publishing remade many of the models in the last 20 years or so. Matchbox is now owned by Hot Wheels owner Mattel while Corgi is still going and back in British ownership after a merry go round of owners since the 1970's, like everything else they are made in China these days.

If your British and a youngster from the 1960's you probably had or wanted one of these.
