As I had one of the tent boxes out the
other day, I shot a few of the question marks, and there's pretty-much something
for everyone here; a bit of modern polymer, and bit of card and a bit of
tin-plate!
Placky-fantacky!
This medieval skullduggery-plotting, for
the use of, marquee seems to be pretty modern, manufactured in polypropylene
(or some dense, soapy-feel, nylon'y ethylene?), and the blue is probably home
paint, I haven't stripped it off as it looks like the sort of PVA blue which
tends to stain, so I'll strip if when I'm ready to repaint - whenever that is!
Ends
keep falling off!
I wondered if this might be New Ray, or someone similar; a
stiff-card tent, pre-cut at the fold-seams and slotting into plastic
end-pieces, one open and one closed? But I can't find it in any of my New Ray
sources, so some other 'rack-toy' playset? To be honest it could be
'action-figure' sized?
Sharp
as a razor!
Bit of age on this one but not as much as
you might suspect - I suspect! A sort of tail-end of the hollow-cast era; maybe
1950's? Before that, they (hollow-cast or solid toy soldier box-set
accessories) were usually little cotton or linen tents with wire poles and a
card base, this is less realistic than those and cheaper to produce - I
imagine. Crescent maybe, they did
tin-forts and stuff with some of their sets?
Glasto' - can't
find his tent - getting berserk!
Anyway that's them; minimal blurb . . .
anyone recognise any of them?

Hi there,
I think the tent with the camo pattern is from the A Team Headquarters set, produced by Galoob Toys for their 3.1/4" action figures, hope this helps.
Yes! That sounds good - Edwin Fear; what a star you are!
AND, I seem to recall the stuff it came with also contained a red backpack with black stripes I did ID as an A-Team accessory, so that's too neat!!!?
Cheers
Happy Easter
