Regular readers will know that I collect early JR toys. These are plastic novelty toys made by Jack Rosenthal's early toy company in the Sixties, which all carried the MR signed diamond mark and who went on to make Project SWORD toys.
Recently I picked up these two new loose additions to my collection, a bunny car and a road roller. The bunny toy is called 'Bunny Ride', which we've seen before and numbered 409. I found this at the Bolton 'Reebok' Toy Fair last month in the illustrious company of mighty co-bloggers Bill and Scoop.
The road roller is completely new to me and the blog and was a lucky ebay strike after a heads-up from my good friend Cookie. It's a lovely toy reminiscent of Jimson's and Clifford's vehicles but is clearly branded with the JR 'MR' diamond and numbered 312. I don't know the real name of this toy or have no idea what the box looks like. If anyone knows please do let me know.
Your vintage collection is proceding well!
