Empire Biulding 2

Further to WOTE's fab Empire Biulding post, Andy B has sent me a pic from cyberspace and some info about Cherilea Daleks. Andy says The daleks were available in a variety of colours, including gold. Usually from Woolworths, probably available around 1965. The pink globe is a Mechanoid.

There was something very pleasing as a kid pulling small toys like these apart. Clever toy makers knew this. Britains cowboys and soldiers were favourites of mine with their little detachable hands and heads and fabulously fiddley tiny revolvers! Later when I started selling at toy fairs and still 'learning' about vintage toys, I mis-labelled some Mechanoids [which I'd never seen before either] as 'Swoppets' [a Britains range!] on my stall and only later realised how much I'd lost on that sale as Mechanoids are highly sought after! Drat! Double drat!
