Queen Mary is a 1/1800 scale waterline model of the famous ocean liner modelled by Hornby before WW2 under the Dinky Toy label. This particular model is 52A which has a tinplate chasis with brass wheels and was probably made between 1948 and 1951, after which the brass wheels were replaced by plastic with production continuing into the late 1950s. This model is in good condition for its age. The paintwork is a little worn and chipped (see photograph) and the underside has little or no corrosion and the tinplate chassis iad brass bobbin-style wheels are shiny metal. The original brown-painted ron masts have been re-coated with white at sometime in the past.

UW12 is a second-hand 1/1250 scale waterline metal model of a German U-Jager (sub chaser) from 1957, made by Hansa, catalogue number S6. The model is in good condition. In common with most of the "S" range, these models are no longer being made.
