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.

Vintage Olivetti Lettera 22 Mechanical Typewriter

VINTAGE OLIVETTI LETTERA 22 TYPEWRITER. Features Round Keys or Mechanical (not electric). Possibly the first edition or release in 1949 or 1950. This one was made in Great Britain and it's lightweight and very portable and ideally perfect for collectors. Comes with a case and cover. Zipper on the case is damaged but can be repaired. Typewriter is still in good working condition and still has a faint "DING" at the end of the carriage :-)
