Helen Howes Sewing Machines - Micromodels and Card and Paper Kits

Toys and Amusements - Micromodels and Card and Paper Kits

Micromodels are of their day, mostly the 1940s and 1950s, when children had patience and skills and good glues.
Therefore, suitable only for adults these days... (and collectors)

All can be posted, postage not included
PLEASE quote the stock number when ordering
My lovely, and sadly late, man, loved good vintage toys - he was saving these for his retirement, and regrettably never got to use most of these in anger...
Divided into several pages, which gives you an idea how much there is..

John really loved these, and I suspect he traded them in and out a lot when I wasn't looking... Condition as described.
This is everything in Micromodels and there will be no more when these are gone

I do not accept returns on toys...

Unless noted, all these are in good or very good condition, are complete and with wrappers

New, at the bottom of the page, some bigger card model books... Scroll, scroll
