A recent (1980-90's?) premium, I've had the calf for ages as he came in a small scale 'job-lot', but his mum turned up in a bag from a charity shop last week, after I blogged here!
Here they are; not much to say, based on Britains designs, made in 'Jersey' plastic and there may have been more? For years I thought it was just the calf!
About Me
- Hugh Walter
- 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.

No; 54mm, I used to think it was around 30mm as I only had the small one, but when the mother turned up the other day it became obvious they were a large 'family'...thing is...was there a Bull? Or a sibling calf?
Pity...I could have added them to my farmyard...:-
Did you get my mail??
Cheers

No eMail? maverickatlarge@hotmail.com...
try again!
Found it in 'Junk' (what's the world trying to tell you!!) and have replied...H
Call me an idiot...Anchor itsn't a British comapany at all, whoever owns it...it's a New Zealand company that imports in to the UK....Doh!
I have these cows, I don't think there is another member(s) of the family, I think the promotion was just the mother and calf. Seem to remember my mum sent off for them when I was a toddler
Thanks Anon, certainly another one hasn't turned-up, and it's been a while now!
