Along with the cats and turtle/tortoise (you'll agree it wasn't clear, but flatter = turtle?), came this bag of shrapnel at the start of October, nothing special, but all fun!
A Fiver's the top-end for this kind of thing, but it'd been a few days since anything joined the stash, and withdrawal was starting to itch, so what choice did I have?!!
A near-complete set of the 'Nabisco'
Magic Roundabout, and in a follow-up I'll explain way I haven't italicised the
Nabisco, and have placed it in single-quotes, but for now, strange that it's all in red, with no sign of the other colours normally associated with the 'cereal premium'?
Standard
Erzgebirge houses and church, but larger than previous ones we've seen here, with an extra window each, The Church/Public building with
Zwiebelturm (onion tower, one of the first German words I learnt, the dreaded
Umleitung came second,
Bummelzug third!) is one from our childhood, I've been after for years, so really pleased to add this to the pile!
Other wooden stuff of the Erzgebirge type, with the train possibly a later Kinder one, and the car probably from a board game. Some of it may go with the cottages in the previous shot, but it's not obvious, while styling, paint, varnish &etc. . . suggests several sources, and many years between oldest and youngest samples.
Mostly 1970/80's rack-toy scenic stuff, but the greenhouse is from the
New Ray HO civil/model railway accessory range, and the two Poplar trees are new to the collection, and - with those huge bases - probably from something more infant-oriented, and also, probably more modern.
Odds & sods; the barrow looks like it should have a pencil-sharpener attached, but there's no sign of such an accoutrement having ever been attached, and I don't know what the blue-cap is from, or if it's even anything to do with toys whatsoever?
