A few oddments from a stroll around a local market town. Is there anything you like?
This Jewellers had a few classic die-casts mixed in too like this lovely gold James Bond Aston Martin.
There was another Aston on display in the next window and a nice Polizei Porsche.
This Cats Cradle caught my eye in a charity shop. One of those re-issues of classic games it reminded me how I used to be mesmerised in the school playground by kids - usually girls - playing this, a sort of hand loom with wool. I recall the 'cradle' being passed to another kid when it was half way through. Is that right?
This plastic toy cupboard was a mystery. Emblazoned with dinosaurs, it had a clock on top. Any ideas?
Similarly this grinning fella remains unidentified, Can you help?
This metal cannon on a wooden stand took me right back. These types of knick knacks were all over my parents' house. Did you have a cannon?
Finally, I was sorely tempted by this futuristic set of table and chairs, which I thought was very 2001. A real snip in a second-hand furniture store, we just don't have the room at Moonbase! Would you have got it?
Cats Cradle is a modern version of the toy, I saw one today. Surely no one in their right mind would pay good money for a bit of string? Bill
ReplyDeleteCat's would.

ReplyDeleteI had a Britains naval cannon, fairly similar to that model gun...
Thanks Looey. Fortnite eh! Oddly enough I picked up another bag of plastic action figures and they appear to be Fortnite as well. I've never played it nor indeed any computer game. Yes, I am a dinosaur.
