Note: My dad owned a Diecast toy store for 30 years. I inherited the store inventory when he passed away several years ago. After years of mourning, I am just now, beginning to sell our pristine and mint condition vintage models here on ETSY. All our inventory is NEW (vintage) merchandise-which was intended for retail sale. Our diecast toys have NEVER been "played-with".
