This display shows off the incredible David Hatley Dinky Collection of "pre-war" Dinky Toys from 1934 to the early war years (~1941), and was finally unveiled to the public on 5th July 2022.

The Collection includes the desperately rare early cast-lead Hornby Modelled Miniatures range (1932-1934) that immediately preceded the Dinky Toys range.
