The PDF file about the Kohnstams was an unbelievable piece of toy history

by Stacey Bindman on 21.11.2013
I just added your post.
The PDF file about the Kohnstams was an unbelievable piece of toy history.
At the end of the post, I got a bit sentimental, and I hope you won`t mind what I wrote.
The coincidence with regard to you and Marco working together as toy collectors,and the generations of Kohnstams continuing
in the toy business had to have a connection that I thought I`d tie in.

Hello, I found your amazing website

by Michael Shepherd on 13.05.2012
Hello, I found your amazing website whilst trying to find information on a Moko Watch Vesta Case. (DRGMA No 195169) Is the Moko Watch case made by the same toy maker Moko.
I found the two Moko Watch cases in a box of old magic tricks that I had purchased. I think someone may have used the vesta compartment in the watch for part of a magic trick.
Would you know how old the Watch Cases would be?
If you can help with information that would be great.
Thank you

You have the worlds best known collection

by mokosexy - Dave Rogers on 07.02.2012

You have the worlds best known collection of moko toys,and anyone who collects will know its not just the price your collection costs to buy but the hours put in searching ,waiting,bidding,researching,the heartache in recieving something thats not right ,and having the guts to try again and finding things that up till now aren,t known.
You then share your finds via here and your site and now in that brilliant article by kevin.
You deserve this

Hi Hans and Marco

by early moy - Gary Galvin on 05.02.2012
Well its no surprise,yes it is a fab collection and with all the new variations and pieces you have managed to uncover,it pushes the whole story so far up another level, with even more interest for the rest of us and others hopefully to come.
The result of your website means we all have an ever changing model of info and actual pics of what is out there to look for.
Well done
many thanks

Finally our publication is out of printers

by Alexandr Pícha on 17.11.2011
Hello Hans and Marco,
Finally our publication is out of printers! Hard cover, 582 pages on high quality paper, 1700 photos and text going in depth in everything connected to Models of Yesteryears. It is in Czech but of course, I am aware that it is not a world language :-) So I am also finishing a small additional booklet in English with translations of Foreword, Guide to Articles about Models and Boxes, Tables of Content, Tables of Issues (Variations) of Each Model and Its Boxes, and Table of the period Corgi Classic range.
Hans and Marco, you have been one of my most generous contributors, the pictures from in your collection are among the top of the publication. It is my great pleasure now to send you the book. Please tell me your shipping address.
Thank you. Have a great day,

Tessie Doll, Moses Kohnstam

by Master on 30.10.2011
Hi, great toy reference site! I`m writing about your bisque shoulder head Tessie doll on the Kohnstam page. The HS marking on her back is for Hermann Steiner 1911-1920s, the Tessie name is attributed to M. Kohnstam, but I have no further details about the doll. I`m reseaching another doll like yours, I was wondering if you would mind telling me if she is on a pink cloth body? or kid? Thank you so much.

Mick i have studied this carefully and have no reason whatsoever to suspect that its repainted,in fact i would put my rep on the line and say this is totally original.I found this at a local booty which is about 10 miles north of London and the seller had quite a few playworn diecast cars and no premium was paid.

Oh my poor heartses

by Moyboy / Matchboxmick - thats me from Oz // moyboy on 27.08.2011
Oh my poor heartses ! Certainly looks the same shade as my tan trailer in your bottom pic showing the inside. The other shots make it seem slightly darker though.
The under spray does look a bit thicker than what is normally found as it is usually quite sparse in this location but going by the other pics looks ok on top. Unless in hand its hard to tell if a repaint from pics. The model would have been on the last sets so would have been issued as prime mover set stock and wheels should have no kidney shaped cut outs on the inside but should have Lesney Moko on the blade
Tan instead of normal red !

Lesney Bulldozer brown color

by bettyswalx // TJLGLASS on 27.08.2011
Got up late and um`ed and ar`ed weather to go to my local booty today as rain was forcast.Reluctantly got out of bed and went.Walked around for about an hour and was just coming to the last stalls when i spotted this.My heart rate doubled while i tried to keep calm and ask the seller how much? without any bartering money was paid and it was coming home with me.It was at home that i got to have a good look at it as all the way home i was thinking its got to be a repaint.But after much studying and scrutanizing im sure its correct and not been repainted.Iv`e never seen this colour before and think its the same colour as the tan trailor if not a little bit darker,its also i think a slightly later issue with Lesnet-Moko on the front blade.What do you guys think??

Wow, what an amazing collection.

by Lee Marks on 17.10.2010
Wow, what an amazing collection. I found your site by accident as I was looking for information on a MOKO Lesney product.

I was lucky enough recently to purchase a 1950 MOKO Lesney Prime Mover and Bulldozer, and want to try to make a reproduction box for it to stay in.
Can you provide me with details and size please?

Could you also provide me with a photograph of the inside, if there is any internal packing?

These were never released in New Zealand so my chances of finding an empty box on the internet are almost impossible, and even if I was lucky enough to find one, I fear that I could not afford it.

Thank you.

dream-tintoys.de is a very interesting site

by Duncan on 27.04.2010
dream-tintoys.de is a very interesting site. You know far more about Moko than I do.
Until I found the article I link to I didn`t know the Riko connection.
Beatties were the U.K.s largest model shop chain in the 80s being the distributor for Tamiya
and all sorts of other models.
If you haven`t heard of Moko there is a good article about them here which explains how they were a pre war German company with Jewish connections which evolved into the RIKO brand sold in Beatties and had links with Matchbox Toys.
The train runs quite well as shown in this video. Allow time for the video to load and start.

Request for 2 of your photographs

by Alexandr Picha on 20.04.2010
I am contacting you on the recommendation of our colleague Marcel Bakker. I am a great MOY enthusiast. At the moment I am working with another experienced collector Libor Miks on a book about the history and variations of Models of Yesteryear. My wife runs a small publishing house and we are planning to publish the book in the Czech Republic in Autumn 2010. So far the book is a deal of three years of work. The text is already done, now we are completing photographs dealing with graphic of the book. We estimate to publish about 1,000 issues.

I would like to ask you for your kind help. I have taken a lot of photos in the collections of Charlie Mack, Everett Marshall, Dirk Schleuer, Marcel Bakker and many other collectors. Some collectors sent us the photos of their rarities. We are still missing the pictures of Early Lesney Toys: the Massey-Harris Tractor and the red and green Cement Mixer. We would like to use them to the chapter about Lesney history. We would like to kindly request you for the high resolution photos of those rarities. Obviously we will credit you as the photographer and the owner of these rarities in each caption of the pictures.

Thank you for your consideration. Best regards,

Dandole un poco de movimiento a este post

Dandole un poco de movimiento a este post

Estos son un poco los pasos previos y que inspiraron a los amigos Smith y luego a Jack, mientras encontraban el verdadero sentido a lo que hac?an o quer?an hacer. Comprendiendo que las guerras mundiales fueron culpables de "desviaciones" en lo que realmente deseaban.

Felizmente esas guerras terminaron y comprendieron pronto cual ser?a el ?xito de la compa?ia. La verdad es que no todos comprendieron esto, recordemos que mientras transcurr?an estas coyunturas, el gran Roney se separ? de la empresa, pero parte de su nombre qued? eternamente sellado en las bases de estas piezas.

Disfruten de estas fotos, muchas Moko cuando Moko era distribuidora de Lesney, otras Moko cuando no lo era, algunas Lesney conocidas ya por todos y otras mas.

Todas estas fotos las he conseguido de un link que alguno de ustedes dej? en el foro, luego reviar? la p?gina para colocar los cr?ditos.

Veamos entonces de donde se inspiraban estos genios, sobre todo, Jack.

Dear Marco,
First may I congratulate you on your fantastic Dream Tin Toys website. There are so many Moko and Debo toys that I have never seen.
Request: I would like to write a new article on MOKO and wonder if you would let me reproduce some of your images; if yes, I could send a list and ask that you put them on a CD for me. That would be wonderful.

How and why did you get started on Moko and Lesney?

As regarding the auctions?25/4 and the Convention Auction will contain Early Lesney and Moko toys.

25/4 LOTS will be on the site around 30 December AND will be on the site for about 5 weeks?you can then put in your bids over the reserve and up to a MAXIMUM you want to go to?

The Convention Auction will be on the site for 14 days before the Convention and again you can then put in your bids over the reserve and up to a MAXIMUM you want to go to?in that auction we have the Large Quarry Truck, Soap Box Racer and wooden Showman?s Engine pattern.

As a member, if you win, you pay 5% buyer?s commission, rather than 10%...

Is that OK?please come back to me if I can explain more?all the best Kevin

GARY,THANKS FOR SORTING THEIR SITE OUT,I AM SURE I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE WHEN I SAY ITS THE BEST ON THE NET.COLLECTING THESE TOYS IS HARD ENOUGH BUT TO AMASS SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

Re: Moko/lesney New Info

This is the web address http://www.dream-tintoys.com

It really is one of the most amazing Early Lesney Toy and MOKO sites around. Hans & Marco both have sites with slightly different content but a lot is the same between them.
You will find no better on the net and I'll leave you to have a browse first before you might reinstate the post I would seriously reccomend a browse but be prepared to be amazed if you have never seen it before.

Moko/lesney New Info

by garybox 1 MCCH Forum USA 02-14-2009, 02:54 PM
Hi Guys
most of you already know dream tintoys.de/ and .com websites,,,
but I have just spent some time visiting Hans and Marco,, alias Blue Gold Angel,, and checked and changed both their pages, as much as could be done in the time, and spent 2 long nights adding new pages and lots more info
it was already a great reference place for moko and early lesney.
There is now a classic vintage photo section with pics of the real thing,
if you can help, please let them or me know.
The latest finds relate to the space outlaw gun variations and display.
well worth a look

GERMAN TRIP

by early moy Moyboyz Forum GB Wed 11.Feb.2009 23:58:36
What a Fantastic time, as you would expect but it went way beyond just looking at a great collection of YY's, Moko, Early Lesney toys. The Ludwigs and their families and friends made it truly Wunderbar.
Met at the airport, cameras clicking to start the parade of pics already showing on the dream tintoys website, it went on and on,,, trips to the tractor club, Hamburg, seaside, and their friends that visited me last year, and a big party BBQ on the sat night,
Hans and Marco's hospitality and both toy collections made it hard work to fit everything in, 2 nights I was up with Hans in his marvellous toyroom till 2.00am just not having enough time to look and chat about all the toys.
Then after 2 nights I spent the next 2 nights with Marco and his collection, where there is a display of other makers that I also enjoy, benbros, morestone, salco, etc.
We also tried to fit in enough time to check and change things on their website, and add more pics and a new area for classic vintage photo's of the real machines our toys are based upon.
They are both very crazy collectors, spending an amazing amount of time and effort on every aspect of our hobby, which made it even more fun for me to be involved with them.
A big thank you to Hans Heike Marco Janine Arno Brigida Gerd Petra

Re: Condon Mining Train.

That's a great site Dave, I've had the link but didn't browse the whole site. It's curious that the pics of the ballast train boxes show the driver sitting side-saddle on the floor. They dont have a boom for their crane either so I feel fortunate mine is complete.

Purchasing Moko toys

Hello,

I think you may be the folks I am trying to email. I noticed on your website that you have Moko toys. My husband is the great grandson of Moses Kohnstam and we would like to purchase some Moko toys for our grandchildren. None survived as the family had to flee Germany.

Best site on the web for Early Lesney and MOKO toys

by Mick Flack Homepages under: Matchbox Links. Australia 01-06-2008
http://www.dream-tintoys.com

http://www.dream-tintoys.de

Probably the best sites you will find on early MOKO toys and the Lesney Early range of toys. Hans and Marco have made a superb job of these 2 sites and you can see the rarest of the rare on here. If you only ever add one to your 'favourites' list then this is it.
