When I saw this Durham Super Serpent I thought it looked familiar.
It wasn't the box, which is really quite nice.
But it was those tyres. They really looked familiar to me.
and here's what it reminds me of, the toy Moon Prospector's tyres, one of which is shown close-up below. Seeing it like this its clear its not the same but maybe related. As I don't own the Durham Serpent I can't compare the size of the two tyre types.
Interestingly Durham was associated with Tarheel Inc. who did indeed release the American Project SWORD Moon Prospector in 1967.
Have you got either of these toys?
I think the Serpents wheels are smaller than the Prospector. Nice toy though
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see them side by side.
