About Me

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.

E is for Essem!

I knew I knew! It's Essem, by Morestone! That coach which had the little plastic cowboys we keep seeing here, with the 'I know but I don't know' caveats, anyway, I had a folder with this in, and I've found a link to tell you everything else, as I don't have the stagecoach yet!
 
Gets them in the bloody Tag-list at last! That link - Nicholas Martin Diecast;

 
And while the brown plastic would appear to be rarer (the link poster has a darker brown one), the red-plastic one would appear to be even less common? They are a type of phenolic or early styrene, a dense and heavy plastic.
