Quite rare and found in various colours (under the paint), often the flecked or marbled effect of mixed granules. I'm further guessing this is not a full sample, surely a bass-drum is a must - for starters! That's it really - bit of a lazy post, a while since we've had one of those, but it gets them on Google...until someone tells me they're something else!!

Hi, I'm unfamiiar with Sacul. Where were they from and when did they come out?
Thanks.
Hi M-7, Sacul were 0ne of the old British hollow-cast manufacturers in the 'minor make' vein, probably most well known for their tv/movie-matinee related characters and novelties, but they also had a reasonable range of generic 'Toy Soldiers' with colonial Highlanders (put one on the blog a few weeks back), Knights, Guardsmen etc...
Like a few of those old British companies they tried the moulds with plastic in the 50's and these guardsmen (if they are Sacul) are the result of those experiments, they also produced some plastic mounted knights with swivel-arms and plug in shields etc...
Joplin's big yellow book is probably the best source for information on Sacul's metal era.

Thanks!
