A Boy's Toy

"Have you cassette tape?" says I. There was one just sat there on a shelf. Then says I "Shame we don't have a cassette player". He opens a drawer and rumages and I spy an old, dusty box.

A complete, totally pristine, in its original box, die cast Corgi car set. "Ooooh" says I " That's perfectly retro"

I was closely supervised as I removed pieces to set up my retro composition of a milkman, complete with milk bottles on his float.
What a fabulous toy - definitely fits the retro bill.

That's wonderful! How lucky were you that he let you "play" with it! It looks like it's in collector's condition.

What a fabulous Corgi set you had hidden away and great that it got to be "played" with again.

Lucky He let you touch it at all!

What a fun subject for a photo. Beautiful choice of composition. How fun to visit the past like this. What will you play on the cassette player?

That will be worth a few bob.

What a great find and story. Must be his pride and joy. Still in its original box too.

I have an entire set of radio shows from the 30s and 40s,probably, that belong to my parents. They are all on cassettes And I asked for a player one year for Christmas so I could listen to them
