There's a lot of lose stuff to clear, from the last Sandown, from Peter Evans and from Adrian, and with the next Sandown Park show only three weeks away, I guess, I need to clear the last lot, sharpish! Here's the animal element of the last show's plunder!
A miniature set from
Rado Industries, with both the
Ri Toys tree-logo and a
Laurie Toy moniker, having previously seen a
Lucky Toy in
Laurie graphics one might be tempted to think there's a connection between
Lucky and
Rado, but really it's just that
Laurie were an importer/jobber, putting their name to various other peoples stuff, whether known or unknown. The beauty of these little sets (we've seena long thin one before (in
Linda graphics?), it they help seperate the
Blue Box/Marx (
Sunshine Series) stuff from the
Ri Toys copies!
This was an excellent find, as it's only a year or two since I discovered this knock-off
Muffin the Mule from
Gantoy, courtesy of one of Chris Smith's donations to the blog. I now know there are other colours too, and the one from Chris didn't have the integral base of this one, nor signs of it's removal, so there's two versions, but for now, box ticked!
The accompanying plants in the first image are from the Corgi Magic Roundabout playset.
Odds and sods to be sorted!
Dinosaur flats, with three British cereal premiums (left,
Nabisco), and two
Warner marked, German versions on the right. I believe there are French variants too, and with soft polyethylene re-hashes (seen here passim), some from the antipodes, quite a sub-section now!
More flats, with the white ones probably all from Europe, the Elephant (missing a gun or circus wagon?) marked
Munsterland, the cat '
Carstanjen' and the puppy something unreadable, while the other two, coloured ones, are more capsule toy or cracker prize type fare.
These are from a board game, not unreasonably called the
Donkey and the Carrot! From
Spears Games, there's a red one missing from the line-up, and these are interesting as they may connect with the sheep we saw in the
Shepard and his Dog game. There may also be a connection with all the
Prior/AHM/Cullpit stuff (they are vinyl), and
Arco (some
Rae marked polyethylene animals seem to be the same as the
Arco Noah's Ark stuff), so another useful find, toward future, more definitive posts.
