Ok.....so here is my other retro collection, some of you might think its cheaper to collect than bikes but I can assure you its probably twice as expensive!
Still its all in the chase as they say, nothing like surfing the junk shops, trademe, ebay and the weekend markets and finding that one off piece you been looking for for ages.
Below are some pic's of approx 1/2 the collection that started only a yr ago, not here to muck around and do things by halfs!!!
It all started with a simple question..."Mum what do ya reckon I should get Grant for Xmas?"...."oh a Crown Lynn Swan"..."WTF are they?"....I now have 3 myself and a raft of other Crown Lynn treats including the age old NZ Railways cups. Rumour has it the kids use to have competitions to see how many times they would bounce before breaking, they are that strong! Half the time the handles would break but the cups were sweet, that is until they got thrown out the train window after losing the bet...hahaha, so im told, far to young to know if this is true or not!
Other treasures are the Air NZ Koru in flight dinner ware from the 60's, just need a few more bits and will have the full set of that range.
The whole collection is currently in storage as I have a 20mth old house guest at the moment who well, sorry Neila you just cant be trusted, cute as you are you break shit!
cheers G
