Here's a smorgasbord of odds and sods I've seen online this year. Think of the music to the Gallery on Vision On when browsing through!
Above: Trio of red space vehicles including a neat clockwork Space Car with a light green dome. Not sure if I've seen a red one before.
Above are a set of Dutch Thunderbirds paper cigar bands I recently auctioned on the Bay. I recall these from my youth although I din't smoke cigars. Far too young! My Dad must have had them. For some reason I'm seeing plastic cigars in my mind too. Did they come on them too?
Above is a catalogue page showing various Tomy toys and intriguingly what looks like a T in a Circle Space Rocket?
Above is the front page of MOON CITY, a horror strip from the seminal CREEPY magazine of the 1960's. I treated myself to a modern Dark Horse bound collection of the first half dozen comics a coupla years ago and Moon City is in there and choc-full of cool space vehicles like this Scramble Bug style digger and a Nuclear Ferry!
Above is a medley of pocket money toys including the red knife, which I definitely had as a kid. For some reason I recall it being from a toy camping or a cowboy set. What is the design?
Above is a Spanish record from the Andersonised pop group The Spectrum. Dressed in Captain Scarlet show uniforms, we saw the Spectrum much earlier on the blog in this Century 21 staff portrait courtesy of Alan Shubrook. Anyone heard their songs?
Woodsy, in the picture of the three space cars I know the middle car with the blue dorsal fin is Gilmark ca 1950s
