Corgi Toys by David Cooke
Corgi Toys proved an immediate success in the 1950s and over the next 30 years hundreds of miniatures would be modelled on contemporary vehicles. Life-long collector David Cooke explores the history of Corgi Toys, describing the various models and illustrating how these simple children's toys became valuable collectables. He also charts the recent financial problems faced by the company, and their resurgence based upon limited edition collectors models sold direct to an adult market.
David Cooke has always been a keen toy collector, and in 1972 he founded the South West Model Club and in 1979 the East Anglian Model Club. He is Toy Curator and a trustee at Bressingham Steam Museum in Norfolk.
