General Toy sale - 24th November 2022
?This sale also includes the extensive collection of the late Peter Salsbury, who sadly passed away in April this year. He had been collecting model London buses for over 20 years, starting with a Days Gone horse drawn omnibus in the late 1990's and his final bus was a Corgi OM46688B special Kraken Edition on 16/10/2021 and had over 1500 in his collection. He centred the collection around London Transport, but as with most collections it got out of hand and expanded to include buses from as far away as Asia. All are boxed and in pristine condition having never been handled without gloves."
The collection includes Lots 4076 to 4251
