Q is for Quickie - Three Wagons on Mah' Page!

I picked these up the other day from the Republic of Ireland, of note as it may point to the wider spread of Giant and Giant-like rack-toy 'stuff' back in the day, but they could have been bought-in more recently by a collector, so proves nothing!

But Is It Giant?; Giant or What?; Giant Stage Coach; Giant Waggons; Giant Wagons; Giant Wild West; Hong Kong Hollow Horse Types; Large Draft Horse; Mexican Small; Quach Wagons; Quash Drinks; Quash Premiums; Quash Waggons; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Waggon; Waggons; Wagon; Wagon Horse; Wagons; Wagons of the West;
This kind of stuff is really meant to be over on the But is it Giant? page, and the above will all be heading there in the next 18-months (with any luck!), once these three have been added-in to the relevant posts, but I thought as they are a nice mix, as a trio, I'd post them here, and plug the new, temporary, horse page.

Before (left) and after (right) cleaning, we have, from the front; a Giant or post-Giant buckboard/box-wagon with the tarp'ed load inserted, and a marked Giant stage-coach (the reason I bid, it had remained elusive for many years!), with a buggy behind, this has the horse I call 'Large Draft', and came in various branded and unbranded sets as well as Christmas crackers and being issued as a Quosh soft-drinks premium (cheers Chris!), we've also seen them here before under the National brand, but with the two smaller versions of the horse.

From the left; the coach with its full GIANT MADE IN HONG KONG mark, it needs a replacement wheel for the Airfix one it's been given, but I have a bagful of spares, both 8 and 12 spoke (and possibly some 10's?), so that will be easy. Note the unique separate axles of the coach, which leads to a pivoting draw-bar allowing for better photography on uneven surfaces!

Then the 'standard' wagon (it isn't really that standard; there are various version of them), copied from . . . take your pick; Crescent, Tudor Rose or one of several US makers! It has a neat Blue Box style MADE IN HONG KONG mark, but it isn't the Blue Box version, just has the same tool-stamp!

While the clip-together 'kit' wagon is marked MADE IN HONG KONG NO 261 which is similar to some Lik Be (LB, formally LP/IDL) markings, but the letters aren't as rough as the items marked like that by LB. In all there are eight in the series to find and I'm not sure I've found all of them, but I've a better sample now than the last time we looked at them!
