Who can help me?

I recently bought a Dafje from Dinky Toys no. 508. However, this Dafje has clear differences with my other Dafjes from Dinky Toys. The clear visible differences are, no drivers, black number plates, closed doors and windows. Everything else is almost identical, the interior and even the underbody with the brands and numbers.

Curious about your reactions.

Rob

Hi Jilles,

Thanks for the response. Placed under model car Dinky. Not quite sure yet how everything works, but one learns along the way.

Hello

Always easy if there is also a Picture of the bottom, it is better to check the Brand,

But it looks like this a Lion Toy this has nothing to do with Dinky therefore also the differences

Hello Baronselderie-5,

Thank you for your comment.

As you can see in the third picture, the bottom is similar to a dinky toys.

So this is the strange thing about the DAF, bottom Dinky, top ws. Lion Toy.

But the car has not been tinkered with, hence my surprise, but who knows, this may happen more often and someone knows how it works.

The car is pictured with a photo and a daf of dinky, Model car dinky.

Hello Rob,

First of all I would like to welcome you to CataWiki and I hope you can put your collection (s) and possibly shop on it. Furthermore, of course I wish you just as much fun as the many other CataWiki members, at least you have found your way to the Forum. Have you also introduced yourself in the section I introduce myself ...? It is always nice to see that there are other collectors as well and they may have valuable tips for you too. It is also nice for other collectors if you further fill in your profile information. Now no one can see where you come from and what your collecting interests are.

Regarding your input, I would also like to point out that there are a few rules for this that are not yet written in a manual, but apply to almost all CataWiki entries.

  • Enter only an image of the object. If you enter an object in CataWiki, in your case a Model car, make sure that the image shows as little different background as possible. This can be done by cropping / cropping an image with simple programs such as Paint, Gimp, irfanView just to name a few.
  • Enter only 1 item per item. CataWiki is a Catalog of collectible items and they should all be collectible separately. Only if an item is only available together, it will be listed and depicted that way. So you could post images / photos of 1 car.
  • Post images as clear as possible. In order to be able to identify / recognize an item for collectors, it is important that an object / car can be properly recognized on the basis of the images (with the entered data, but images are the most important first point of recognition). So a model car should be depicted from a side view, rear view and from below in CataWiki. For items that are still completely in the box, I think that the box should be placed as the first image, but I believe that the rule is that this is the 3rd image at Modelautos.

I hope these tips help you and will apply them, because I cannot read the bottom of the car.
