MM - Pick Two - Damaged Toy
I was given this Dinky wheelbarrow in around 1950 but it was not long before I had dropped it and bent one of the handles. I then discovered that die cast models are quite brittle as my attempt to straighten it only made matters worse. I ended up with a one-handled wheelbarrow which I still own to this day. Over the years it has also suffered from a bit of paint loss (known as playworn in the trade) but at last it will have its day in the limelight as a Damaged Toy in Macro Mondays!
