A couple of unknown items today, one I have half a clue on, the other is reportedly French, both posed with the hard-wearing, long--surviving, late production, PVC jobbie from Corgi.
So,
Corgi on the left, the one in the middle seems to be a
Lucky-like Hong Kong effort, in lightweight 'model kit' polystyrene, with the hollow-moulded casualty glued to the trolley-stretcher, but it is quite large, so maybe not Lucky, but one of the other Hong Kong plastic vehicle makers, which could mean more than one brand, as several of them were re-branded. Unusually for such a piece, there's no Hong Kong mark.
While the pair on the right who may or may not be missing separate stretchers or hospital beds are heavy lumps of what appears to be 'styrene, but could - especially if French - be some other polymer, in the cellulose, formaldehyde (Bakelight) or phenolic groups?
Also dug-out this, posed with the
Starlux 25/30mm pup-tent, might also be French, but has been in the queue for a year or two, is also looking for an attribution, and is also quite a heavy, hard-plastic, and has a quite steep pillow angle, which may be a clue as to any casualty, possibly even the pair above, and while I don't think so (different polymer), equally I'm open to correction!
Can anyone help with these?
