About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

T is for 'The Horses Really Gallop!'

Not!

They do have an amusing novelty bobbing mechanism involving a pair of cranked shafts set into a central carpet wheel. Kleeware via Bonnie Built; seems to make sense to follow up Tuesday's post with another cross-over . . . over the pond!

I've stared at these pictures and Kent Sprecher's until my eyes hurt, but apart from the fact that Kleeware seem to have always used two figures, while some of the Bonnie Built ones on TSHQ have only one (leaving a lot of the fixing-slot visible), I can't see any real difference between the two, so probably mould/tool-share rather than copying.

The only obvious difference is the 'KLEEWARE STAGE' in raised letters on the doors.

Nice clean box for the box-ticker, and Thanks to Adrian Little of Mercator Trading for letting me shoot this at Sandown.
