I started my "hobby" some 40 years ago. We lived minutes from a thriving Deere dealership. Every birthday, or Christmas was a reason to get another Deere toy. It was the early sixties, and the 4020 was KING of the fields. I trashed a lot of my toys, but for some strange reason, I kept most of my Deere toys in top shape, boxes included. I kept on buying them, through my highschool years. The late 70's, and early 80's, see a "gap" in my collection. I've bought a few from that era, to fill in the gap. From around 1984 on, I seldom missed any Deere toys. The collection has grown to include hundreds of older, and all the newer stuff. It was a hobby for me, when it wasn't even a recognised hobby. Nowdays, there's thousands of "collectors". Few bargains to be had. But I still have my first toys, and a whole lot of dust has "collected" over the years. John
