Yea not the real thing but it started when my lovely wife bought me the big resin car for Christmas one year. and the rest just kind of come along catch as catch can. Makes a neat little display. The Indy Roadster Ezra Brooks decanter above it was purchased by a much younger version of myself at age 21. It is amazing it survived the night, much less the past 41 years.

Nope still here, she bought it out of a second hand store about 12 years ago. I have no idea of the age and there are no makers identifing marks.

The only marks on the bottom of mine are a D and an A but they're not even by each other. They're really cool cars.
