Project SWORD Moon Prospectors are always fun.
I had one as a kid back in the Sixties.
Here's the T in a Circle [Tai Hing] version I saw on auction.
Its always worth checking the branding on the toy itself.
This one is Century 21 Toys.
Looking again at the box there are no UK patent/ registration details.
I've seen T in a Circle Prospectors in a T in a Circle box too.
I reckon these are all crossover mash-ups when Century 21 Toys likely teamed up [bought?] T in a Circle, which we've discussed before on MC.
Have you got a Century 21 / T in a Circle mash-up?
All the best for 2024!
Fascinating highlighted previous blog entry. MC really is an amazing repository of 60's toy information!
ReplyDeleteThanks Looey, its been a fun ride.
DeleteHello and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI've got both versions. It seems that the T branded (both toy & box) has the patent number on the box, while the T/C21 mash-up states only the item number 422.
All fascinating stuff Arto. I think there are Tarheel/ T in a Circle/ Century 21 mash-ups out there as well! There's one as we speak on Ebay USA!
DeleteWhilst I rather like it now, I think, as a kid, I'd have wondered what the hell it was.
ReplyDeleteI had one and loved it Mish as it bumped round the room lit up like a Christmas tree. You'd have loved it!
