Who’s Playing These Games?

A while back I came across an ultra rare KdF board game on eBay ( 1 2 3 4 5 ). Never saw it before. I placed a maximum bid of € 1000 on it. Yes, I know, it’s a lot of money for ‘just’ a board game but when was the last time you played this game?  My guess was that it wouldn’t be enough to become the lucky winner as eBay is full of vintage VW collectors. I waited and waited, 1 minute before the end of the auction. Still the highest bidder. Would it be mine after all? 10 Seconds before the end of the auction… Exciting, isn’t it? Just check the result in this picture. Is it worth that kind of money? Well, that’s up for discussion…

Vintage Volkswagen Scale Model

 I followed this Volkswagen Split Bug 1:18 scale model a couple of weeks ago in the hope to win it. As usual the price went sky high in the last few seconds. According to the eBay ad it is made in Oyonax, France. The ad also mentioned a manufacturer. It supposed to be made by ’Plastiques Gilac’ but I have my doubts. Does anyone have more information about this plastice VW scale model? Collecting vintage VW scale models is something I started a while ago. I do not have that many scale models and I only collect the Split and Oval ones. It’s just a small part of my vintage Volkswagen hobby. My main interest is collecting pre 1957 Volkswagen literature which already is taking up a lot of closet space.
