Dad still has all his corgi cars (diecast cars from the 50s and 60s) sitting in a box. He also has a few tinplate toy cars. They are also in boxes.

I think it is a waste. The last time i saw them was at least 5 years ago when i busted them out of the box, had a look, opened and closed the doors, and put them away again.

so

I want to get a display cabinet to put them all in. Preferably a bookcase style thing, and sealed so the dust doesn't get in.

Any suggestions on where I could find something? Second hand is fine.

your rich ?


i'm still looking for one for all of my cars.

prices started at $800 for a very small one. i'm keeping an eye out for shops closing down......

not overly rich. or i could sell them all and get rich

i'll give you $20 for the lot. see the matchbox cars out the fromt of the colorado shop at casuarina ?

nup, i avoid casuarina.

might have something at work.
i'll have a look for you and get back.

we've got the 60's release of that one. with the box, slightly used but still good.

i agree adam, we are both too reflective to hang out there.......

Thanks David!!

I'd suggest you keep an eye out in the paper for when places like LMPA have an auction (generally once a month). They usually have heaps of furniture to dispose of, and I'm pretty certain I've seen some glass display cases there when I've been previously. And a lot of the stuff ends up going pretty cheaply, eg. office desks for $50.

glass display cases usually go pretty quick.

i have been looking for one for 2 years

old upright double glass door fridges go for $500 up at LMPA. I have been chasing one for my mums dolls (dont ask) for the last few years too.....

Prices don't seem too bad, but freight could be the killer.

Yikes! I would have thought you could just about build one for that sort of price!
