A is for Archive - House of Miniatures

These are from a little fold-up flyer sent out to customers of House of Miniatures and may be useful for your archives, they aren't the best quality, but they are modern copies taken from early/rudimentary photocopies (1950's Xerox or Roneo's?) and were very pale, so I've had to play with the contrast.

'Swoppet' Guards and Cowboys

The reference to Fusiliers may be accurate, I don't know when they went over to khaki ( 2 Dress) and 'Blues' ( 1 Dress) to match the rest of the infantry, but certainly the Guards 'Scarlet and Bearskin' was the parade uniform/ceremonial dress of fusiliers for the later period of the Victorian or Edwardian eras (indeed - I think they fought in it, in the Crimea?), which in 1950 were era's closer to the toy-maker than post-post-modern 2018!
