Vintage Pencil Sharpener - Toy?

Back in the old days, we used pencils in our everyday life and sharpener is a tool which needs to get it going. I have a couple of vintage sharpener which can double up as a toy for a kid. A 2 in 1 combo for a kid to study and play. This is where fun never ceases to innovate in its ways.

Imprinted with a Simplex word and I guess this should be the company producing it.

This die-cast horse carriage is very well-detailed and looks like a Cinderella Carriage too.

The jeep have four rolling wheels and the steering can turn but not turning the wheel. The sharpener is hidden at the back.

I wonder if these will take up time for your studies or an excuse to sharpen more pencils.

Hey ! Tom. Go Carting?

I got myself a vintage 1970's Corgi Junior Tom Go Cart die cast toy through an auction but condition is pretty done but the decals are still visible. It has seen it's days of fun.

Since it is pretty reasonably priced, I think it is fine to own a piece of vintage iconic Tom & Jerry die cast cars.

Tom improvised himself with a rubbish bin cover as a helmet and his Go cart is fronted with a rubbish bin. Sitting slouch back, he tries to fire at Jerry along the race and he is packed with some serious firepower at the back. Watch out for this Tom Cat !!!

What's the Catch?: HotWheels Die-Cast

Have been really busy and lacking on my posts lately. But hunting still goes on but I need to be careful on what I hit on.

While I was going around and taking my rounds, browsing in the local toys department, I would somehow, meddle around with HotWheels little cars occasionally. This time, I found some little ones which caught my eyes.

I admit, I do buy some along the way but I am not a die-hard HotWheels collector. Just hitting some occasional buys.

Today, I got 3 of them.

A '70 Camaro, a '49 Drag Merc and HotWheels Imagination series - Semi-Psycho

This Camaro is a track tester and comes with Hotwheels logo on the front side. It's the same facelift when BumbleBee first take it's form as a vehicle in the movie.

The '49 Drag Merc is super low on suspension as it is on a drag race. Cool decals, yellow and chrome front.

The Semi-Psycho is one vehicle design which reminds me of a train and the color pops out with big size rims. Cool.

They just got back and these are some quick picture of them to share with you. I may tear them out to show their glory soon.
