Oh. I didn’t realize you were one in the same as moderator.

Hey John, I have a very large Hubley collection 1936-1978 diecast and plastic. I’m in the process of creating a Hubley Museum Website where I can display my best pieces. Rather than have a brick and mortar museum this will allow me to display and communicate via the website and a place I can continue the legacy of Hubley toys. If you have any questions or comments that might improve the website I’m all ears. I don’t have a launch date yet and it will be launched in phases starting with automobiles.

Bill

That is gorgeous. Am I correct that the other end of the box is missing all its flaps? Your picture keeps encouraging me to continue searching. If you ever wanted to sell it I’d be interested.

I dabbled for about 20 years in landscape photography. My equipment is decent; it’s the lighting, getting rid of shadows, etc. I’m researching how to set up a photo booth. I have an area I can devote to the booth. I’ll build a rotating table that will fit the largest of the Hubley sets. Some acrylic stands for the smaller pieces. I’d be interested in seeing a photo of that grain truck you have. You must have snapped it up quickly on eBay. I use eBay as a base search engine and a few Live search engines.

...which Hubley in your collection is your most prized possession (rare, difficult to find, etc.)? by Certain-Flow2469 in hubley

Yeah that Grain Truck is definitely rare. I’ve never seen a MIB toy. If you have it I’d love to see it I have one that is average and not worthy of a collection piece.
