H is for Heads-up! C&T Auctions - 12th December

A reminder that C&T are preparing their pre-Christmas auction as I type, and already it's shaping up to be a bit of a humdinger - as I believe the expression is, with signature collections of Britains hollow-cast, Delhi Durba and Skybirds to bid for.

We've looked at a fair few Skybirds over the years here but nothing compared to what's going to be in the sale, although some of the better pieces I've shot at shows may well be among those items on offer in December?

As well as vintage (and veteran) Britains hollow-cast figures there are plastics in the sale including the 'Crazy Clown' (and other) circus, while other metal includes Heyde railway figures, Vertunni, CBG, flats and named Courtenay's knights.

I don't know much about hollow-cast, but I know a nice set of old toy soldiers when I see it, even if it's outside my budget!
