Danbury-Franklin Mint Collection for Sale

[howardbishop]

I recently got a collection of Danbury-Franklin Mint Cars...Planes....tractors....misc.
The original owner began this collection in the early 1970's. Most of the 160 or so models were never opened...just put in storage.

I got the collection for the MOPARS but there are many classic American Cadillacs...packards....Fords...Chevys...Cords planes....tractors....some fire trucks.
The prices are reasonable for these "new" models.
The range is $60-$250 dollars.
I'll discount the prices for multiple cars. I have a Word Doc list of the models so e-mail me and I'll send you a list.
Christmas?? Birthday??
This collection was $13,000-$14,000 new. I'd consider an offer for all of them.
Thanks
Howard

Best place for those are e-bay or a die cast, model forum I suppose. The die cast hobby has taken a dive about five years ago and never even thought about coming back up.

Buying diecast model cars just makes me want the real thing even more.......although I do have a 70' Lime Green big block Cuda.

I have almost 100 on the garage wall.... I'm done.

 

[70NPORT]

I have a few around the house. The 1969 1/2 Super Bee with the A12 Package is my favorite!

The mint cars never made it into the garage, no way to display them.....

I have mine sitting on top of entertainment center where it can be viewed all day. I need a stun gun for the kids I've told 100 times it's not a @$%^^$ toy!

I had a gorgeous case in the dining room, my wife took it for her horses

 

[commando1]

Must have been a very huge case...

Very nice. Got a few more around but no pics at hand, but they*re mostly not very detailed Matchbox models from my childhood, I dumped about everything in the 1:1 scale models later. I'm doing too much body work in my garage, they'd be constantly covered with all kinds of debris at my place.

You purposely framed the the shot to get her into the photo, didn't you?
Show off.

 

[polara71]

No, not really. I was trying to get all the wall art in or as much as I could.

 

[commando1]
