The Old Toy Box

Hi my name is Noel and I have a small hobby of die-cast and toy collecting. I love vintage items specifically toy cars and motorcycles. I was also part of the London's Toy Auctioneer in 2007 and have personally collected quite a number of various small old toys while in England. Sadly, many ended up being sold on Ebay and gave away the rest to the little boys who couldn't resist model cars. But I am glad I have kept some photos of them so I could always share, look back and enjoy.

Me, Daniel Agnew and Norman Joplin

I couldn't recall the date when Daniel Agnew and I met up with Norman Joplin at Russel Square London. I guess it was sometime in July 2008. Norman had just arrived from the US to set up a toy fair. We had a brief lunch together but got caught up in a rain followed by gusty winds. It was memorable and fun!

Norman is a specialist and world expert on toy soldiers and has and published several books on these subjects. To visit Norman Joplin's site, please click here: www.normanjoplin.com.
