Cane (as in canine, ie 'dog' or hound, hence the brand-mark) were
prodigious producers of rack toys, so the fact I only have the one is slightly
remiss of me, but then there's lots out there in Internetland, indeed Mr Sell
hoovered them all up and pretended they were his a year or two ago so they are
all plagiarised in one place somewhere on shitestuff!
I picked this up back when I was a small
scale-only collector and there are no figures, even though - as Grisoni
- Cane did do some smallish 'combat' Marine
figures which could have occupied one of the blisters here?
The vehicles, clockwise from top left; A
vaguely AMX turret on an upside-down
Lilo provides the heavy armour, a Whites Scout Car/Bedford truck hybrid
sits above a French municipal rubbish-van, the Jeep's actually not bad compared to the others and while the Saracen is recognisable, equally it has
more in common with the locally produced vehicles of the inter-war uprisings of
the 1920/30's than anything used in Northern Ireland!
My favourite, the smallest non-Hong Kong
copy I know-of, of what is clearly the 1-Ton
Humber from Dinky, in this case
probably via Sam Toys own copy, but
much reduced and simplified, or Matchbox
but theirs was a radio-shack body, the Dinky
was the GS 'pick-up'.
