Stine's World of Vintage Diecast Collecting

-- Last Update: January 6, 2025 (see details in RED below) --

Welcome to Stine’s WORLD of Vintage Diecast collecting. This website is dedicated to educating you on various vintage diecast models from personal collections. What‘s different about this site? Well, there are detailed pictures and information to identify your diecast model against images that show multiple angles and variances through real life examples. This guide is here to help you understand the world of vintage diecast collectable models through the eyes and experience of personal collectors. We don’t concentrate on the value of a model but rather the identification through the library images. There are plenty of places on the internet that will tell you how much your diecast is worth or what someone would pay for it! We stay away from that and rather deal with the real collector and their collection!

The current catalog will be built over time with more and more diecast images included as they become available so be patient and visit the site often to see the updates. If you would like to comment on the website or provide corrections or pictures/information contributions, please send an email to jimmyb7899@gmail.com.

The first series of collector images will concentrate on the original Moko Lesney Matchbox and Dinky Toys models made in England. Afterwards, more images will be including in the library for Matchbox King Size, Super Kings, Schuco and others brands…Enjoy!
