Greetings to all! I was a member of the scale143 albeit not very regular one. So pleased that this community migrated to a new place!
I will show my new additions in this thread.
Duesenberg SJ Gurney Nutting 1935 - Stylish Cars
This one is still traveling to me. Stylish Cars is (or was) a German brand making white metal Duesenbergs.
I have always wanted a white metal Duesenberg model. Any additional information about the model is welcome, feel free to comment.

I think Rextoys are quite under-appreciated and they were great models for their time. The story of Rextoys and its founder Count Antonio Giansanti Coluzzi is also very interesting. toysnz.com/Rextoys.htm

I have one from Rextoys and I am more than happy with it.
Welcome back and thanks for showing us these cars. The Cadillac looks very proud.

Very nice! I like those old white metal models that came from Rextoys, the original Brooklin. Enough detail to nake them collectors models mixed with just the right amount of toy like charm.

When Rextoys came on the market they were very desirable but expensive. I just recently saw someone at the swapmeet selling them new in box for EUR 10 each. I was tempted.

Thank you all for commenting. Indeed Rextoys are underappreciated, I can find them between 10-25 euros now. Thank you for the info about Count Antonio Giansanti Coluzzi. He had an amazing train collection as well! Here is another veteran model. Cord 812 Beverly Sedan - Western Models Made in England

Western Models have always been expensive. A range of them in your display would look incredibly impressive. Like this one a lot.

Welcome back. Some interesting additions there. The Stylish Duesy was a very expensive model; I have a Wheels model cars catalogue from around 2001 where your model was priced at £437! A lot of the detailing was silver plated which doubtless added to the price. The Truescale version of a few years ago was, in my opinion, superior but was, of course a resin model. I only ever had one Rextoys models, the Chrysler Airflow. It's as good as contemporary Brooklins but nobody seems to want them now.
