heritage cellar find
Because the wanted and sales section is supposed only for LR-related items I'll give it a try here. Dear admin, if this is not appropriate with the forum rules please give me a pm or delete it

Found an old Rolls Royce tin toy model with a wind up music box in our cellar which I bought at an antique market in London in the early 80ies and gonne sell it through ebay. It's the first time I am selling 'over the german border'. Maybe there are some collectors for tin models or collecting real old Rolls Royce cars from the very early times here in the forum. Seems to be a toy that was given to the customers kids when selling a new Rolls in the 20ies or 30ies of last century. The original model may have been a 20/25 convertible:

I love 20/25s, I knew I wanted a Hooper Limo as my wedding car before I had even started seeing my wife.

"Hooper" is the name of a coach builder that built the bodies for Rolls Royce.
