The softcover book is ‘Corgi Toys.’ The two magazines are ‘Vanguards: Fifty Years of Classic Motoring!’ and ‘Model Collector,’ both dated 1991. The three laminated promotional leaflets are for ‘World is Not Enough 007 Bond Villains,’ ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and ‘Gone with the Wind,’ advertising ‘CAST IN FINE METAL’ figures by Icon Collectibles Limited/Corgi, with the latter two copyrighted 1999. The subjects covered across the collection range from military miniatures and historical toys to die-cast vehicles (Corgi, Matchbox, Dinky, Norev) and pop culture figures.
