The folder is called 'Odds & Sods'! I found it languishing in 2023, and all or some of it may have been seen here at Small Scale World already, all or most of it may be from a Sandown park show (some definitely is), most or a few bits may be from a visit to a friend's house, and bits but not all or most may have been a "Found these, if you want them" type donation in passing!
A large Indian, probably
Tudor Rose, but others did do such figures and I haven't looked it up, scaled with a
Kellogg's/Crescent ringmaster, to reveal the 90/100mm size of it.
Some of this is in the next shot, so definitely a Sandown or part Sandown lot, with highlights including all four
Lone Star Wild West children and the bear-fighting backwoodsman (who can also fight the corresponding Indian, who can also fight the bear!), I remember posting the good Doctor Thadeus P. Tripp and his hidden bottles, from
Timpo, while two Belgian composition stick-out at the back.
Posted a variation of this at the time, definitely Sandown, and fully covered somewhere? The Taxi went on to another home. We've since also seen a colour variation of the racing car,
Rosedale I think, and possibly three in the collection now?
Not sure if I've posted these before? The
Plasty ACW Union soldier is grist to the mill, but the
Lone Star 60mm swoppet is a very different beast, it's the only one I've got, I've probably never seen the whole set, except in an article somewhere, and they are very hard to find, not least as they are getting brittle (my base is going), so a nice find!
A handful type donation? Three blow-moulds, two Japanese novelties, maybe Christmas cracker prizes in 'styrene, and a larger bear, probably Hong Kong and possibly once flocked, although that would mean somebody added the eyes after the flocking had come off? An acid-etched (or acid matted) pug-dog in poured/moulded-glass is a fun find, and some other odds and sods!
Two French figures on the left? Historical characters? Rural dress/regional stereotypes? Or just from a large wagon model-kit? A
Marx dog, from the Hong Kong arm, in
Warriors of the World style, possibly? And a
Marx TV Tinykin definitely!
Prone to laying about; the
Marx nude as a re-issue, a fallen but still fighting African Native from
Elastolin, apparently not rare, as a whole sack-load or two were found when the factory closed-down, and one of several similar 'tied-to-a-tree' figures from various European manufacturers, and I never know which is which -
Jean, Manurba/Heinerle, Dom, Texas, Hugonnet?
Kinder (technically;
Marajà) Zorro, incomplete, but I already have three different colour variations, complete, with others still on the runner, so just useful spares, a Spanish (or Argentine copy?) horse, for which a rider may already be waiting in the pile, and one of these odd artillerymen, we saw here;
Eight years ago! Where does the time go?
