QUEENSBURGH Cheshire Home is hosting a Collectors’ Fair on Saturday, November 28, from 08:00 to 15:00 at 890 Main Road, Moseley.

Expect vintage toys and cars, vinyl and CDs, antiques, mancave items and more.

Home manager Dino Daniel said the idea behind the fair is to raise awareness for Queensburgh Cheshire Home, while allowing collectors and customers a unique shopping experience at a market that is perfectly timed after exams and before Christmas.

“The carefully selected group of traders and collectors have never been at the same event before.”

He said collectables that will be on sale are Diecast and tinplate, Dinky, Corgi, Matchbox, Hornby, Tri-ang, early LEGO sets, Meccano; Action figures and dolls: 70s-90s Star Wars, Action Man, Transformers, Barbie, Sindy – often with original packaging; Model trains, cars and planes: Working models, track, rare liveries; Board games and puzzles: Complete vintage games and nostalgia pieces; Teddy bears, wind-up toys, comic books, annuals, tin robots; porcelain, glassware, silver, brass, clocks, watches, jewellery, medals, coins, postcards, small furniture pieces people can carry, vinyl records, books, and military memorabilia.

Daniel assured the public that they can expect dealers who know their stuff.

“Most stallholders are specialist collectors or dealers themselves. Because it’s curated for interest, not just high value, you’ll find R100 treasures alongside R2000 investment pieces,” he said.

The home has space for 25 to 30 stalls.

“We still have space for a few more traders and will allow a few scholars the opportunity to rent a space for the day and sell their arts and crafts. Many people don’t know the home exists. A fair of this magnitude puts its name, its needs, and its bank details in front of hundreds of people and could also attract future volunteers and donors.

“Someone who comes for market visit might become a monthly donor, a volunteer or a business that sponsors monthly groceries. There will be info on various social media sites and on the day at the venue,” he said.

There will also be live music, and safe secure parking.

“There will be food, beverages, a kids zone and lucky draws,” said Daniel adding that the highlight will be the appearance of South Africa’s most famous real-life replica car of K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider owned and built by Anban Pillay, a Durban-based electrical engineer.

“It gained national fame after being featured in a Chicken Licken television commercial spoof and features include a screen-accurate exterior, the iconic front red-light scanner, a custom voice-response onboard computer, and a digital dashboard. For a small donation, visitors will be allowed to see inside this nostalgic beauty and take pictures,” said the home manager.
