B is for Brum-Brum Autos

Mostly Cake decorations or pocket-money toys, but there were a few in the lot the other day, and these are the sorts of larger items which - like the larger musical instruments - would have come in those plastic-netting Christmas stockings we used to get as shut-em-ups a day or two before the big day!

I've probably got three-times these in storage (including a nice Marx die-cast of the Corgi style), with few duplicates so we will look at them in greater depth one day. Of interest here are the red one on the top right - it is an absolutely mint Irwin, still smelling like it's just been made (of a phenolic/celluloid polymer) - and the cream and blue ones with a wide track which are Italian pocket-money toys. The drag-racer is probably an earlier Kinder toy, while the blue one top-centre, is a hard styrene early HK piece, possibly Blue Box, but unmarked.
