Barney over at Herald Toys and Models has listed the next lot of his recent collection acquisition for sale, blurb as follows;
"Dear Collector, we have
just added a wonderful selection of Britains trade boxes of American War
of Independence 'Swoppet' figures, in MINT condition, still wrapped in
the original tissue, each carton having the original complaints slip.
From the Roger Saunders collection, we understand they were obtained
from an old toy shop in Godstone, Surrey, during the 1970's and date to
circa 1965. A wonderful opportunity to acquire some bright, fresh,
figures in superb, crisp, trade boxes. Happy collecting as always!
Barney"
And the Vectis bumph has arrive as I predicted, but I don't want to post it all now as it would push the PW174 review down the page a day early! So I've added the Tuesday (tomorrow) stuff to last-Friday's post.Actually it looks like Wed/Thurs are not happening - I'll check it all tonight.
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.
