Right I'm confused, I'm sure the image I
posted a while back was from Andy B, I'm sure Chris Smith sent me stuff on the
same subject, which may have included a catalogue and I'm sure I found a
catalogue the other day as stuff was going to storage, but that's as far as my
being 'sure' about anything goes . . . it's been a difficult year!
I have these four images, which are not titled in
a way I would have titled them, so they must have been eMailed to me, probably
by Andy B? But they could have come from Chris with the written stuff, or did
Chris send me a catalogue and was it the one I found the other day meaning
there may be another Hawkin's Bazaar
shop catalogue somewhere?
I think it's easier to thank both Chris and
Andy again, for all they did on Tobar/Hawkin's
Bazaar, or as here Hawkin - Tobar
(no apostrophe-'s', no Bazaar), and
get the images up before my head explodes.

Showing mostly the larger stuff
The motorcycles are actually quite big, so
having said earleir I would look out for them; I probably won't! All 'China'
and I rather like the Romano-Crusader and I'll have to look for the drummer
instead of the 'bikes!
Space stuff, some of these are 'full sized'
replica's of yesteryear's toys, I rather like the two small robots though,
80mm's is not that big?
A couple of Japanese made modern toys (but
not Modern Toys), and the marked ZZ tree decorations, I must have cropped
the top right image out for context last time and meant to do these later, but
at the time? [Yes - he adds, ten minutes later - I meta-tagged all the model
numbers for the core tree-decoration range last time!]
I should probably try to locate the water
pump (farm) and there is a smaller motorcycle and side car, but then I said I'd
look out for it didn't I . . . heehee!!
Andy, Chris - thanks guys, I'm sure you
realise by now I'm a flaky, disorganised amateur, but we're getting there, with
your help!
They might be the ones I sent, though the scans look somewhat better than I usually do!
ReplyDeleteWith all the stuff you juggle for your site, not surprised things get mislaid!
Stay safe.
I think they are probably yours as well Andy, but I'm now questioning if I saw another the other month while it was (in my memory) in my hands! Once I'm settled in a new place with everything sorted it'll all come together!

Thank you for posting this catalogue. I've been the owner of TX507, TX513 & TX514 for over 20 years since these items flooded New York's stores. They were sold as ornaments not really being robust enough to be toys.
ReplyDeleteCheers Terra', I've got the shot you sent, and will do a follow-up when a little something arrives from feebleBay!
