Project SWORD toys by Century 21 Toys in the UK and Europe: a sample of the fleet.
Project SWORD in the USA by Tarheel Industries
I've no idea how the US prices compared with the UK for value. For instance in 1967 you could get a Space Glider or a Moon Bus in the UK for 24/11d and in the US $2.99. Does anyone know the 1967 exchange rate of US and UK currency or maybe even today's equivalents?
There were also two unusual Project SWORD Captain Scarlet-based crossover toys by Tarheel in North America.
Do you have any Century 21 or Tarheel Project SWORD toys in your collection?
Sorry Woodsy, caught this a bit late.
ReplyDeleteAfter the devaluation of Sterling in 1967, the exchange rate was pegged at £1 = $2.40. As stated on my Spacex Prices page ( http://www.triangspacextoys.info/SpGApack/SpGAprcs.html :) that made a British penny exactly equal in worth to a US cent. At the bottom of the Prices page are links to value convertors btw.
Hope that helps -- Paul
