Ongoing Nastiness
I must firstly thank Matthias Berthoux
(aka: Breizh44) and Paul Stadinger
(aka: The Jabbering F**k or TJF) for their juvenile rant'gasm yesterday over in
Vichy, I think it got me another 25 hits or so, and hoping I get the 'three
million' up in time for the Blog's tenth birthday I guess every little helps!
In my dust guys children, and that's not egotism, that's the fact of the
matter.
Show Dates
Right, to the business at hand, Sandown
Park tomorrow, and 'only' Sandown Park - for toys; best show in the UK really,
and last one this year, so be there or, err . . . be somewhere else . . . but you'll
miss-out! C&T Auctioneers in the
week, not the headline one which is still a month away, but there's plenty of
good stuff in this one too.

Toys in the Media
Propaganda postcard from 1918
Sorry Prussians, sorry Austro-Hungarians,
but it's pretty obvious who's wining here, but then it IS propaganda! Of interest is
the variety of artillery pieces in use and particularly the Pom-pom in the
foreground, which although on a tripod, is very similar to Granddad's
silver-plate keepsake, also, it's clear those little red boxes looked tatty
from 'the off'!
Also note the Zouaves in the background and
how pleased the two small boys look as their picklehaubed columns are
utterly decimated! And a fair amount of the toy artillery would have been pre-war
imports . . . from Germany!
