S is for Shell's Liberty Toy Soldiers

As if we haven't returned to these enough already! But there's always a tad more to add, or another angle to explore, or a new mystery, or - as in today's case - another box to tick!

I finally have a sample myself, so we can have a high-res close up of something which had remained a thumbnail, a link away! Date's clearer too; 1972, and the Innovative Promotions moniker.

The obvious thing, given these were aimed - primarily as pester-power - at kids, is; no instructions as to which is which, the legs are obvious and the matching of jacket with trousers is to be assumed, certainly by brighter kids, but there's no clue as to facings read: . . . frilly-shirt insert!

Confirmation of the Innovative Promotions base and that's it really - a sweet, neat post for Rack Toy Month!
