Hello there Moonbasers!
We'd visited the village of Rye about twelve years ago and today, we dropped in for 30 minutes on our way to Sissinghurst Gardens.
Toys were a little thin on the ground but I saw a die cast US space shuttle with a UK maker mark tampoed on it's plastic underside.
The Antique shop was shut, but these die casts in the window were approaching Australian silly prices!
And just to prove sometimes you can go home, I'd remembered a neon Toy sign and it's still here! Interestingly on closer inspection, it seems to be 50s or 60s, judging by the stick and ball feet on the bottom.
Sadly the toys upstairs were nowhere near as vintage! It was all Barbie, Star Wars Lego and plastic assault rifles in a bin by the cash register!

Oz on tour
The die-casts all look to be 1950s or 1960s Matchbox. The double-decker bus at the rear is an early Models of Yesteryear. I had the yellow tractor shovel on the right. They could have at least brushed the dirt off it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the shopping.
clearly using ebay as a pricing benchmark. silly money!
ReplyDeleteFunny what we remember Looey. That is a great neon sign though! The cars on the lace work remind me of a charity shop I go to in the far North!
