A recent ramble round the old Roman town of Castleford taught us a lot about Roman life in Northern England but there wasn't much in the charity shops.
I did see this jigsaw puzzle of a car I'm pretty sure I had as a Yesteryear as s kid. But what was it?
I also clocked this boxed draughts set by Berwick, who were a popular toy company when I was a kid. Did you have any Berwick toys?
The box art screams the 1960's, a graphics style I love. Do you?
And I'm still trying to ID this action dolls dressed in oriental garb, complete with plastic long bow and quiver. He's about 12 inches tall, like an Action Man
I've a female red ninja too.
As per usual I should have bought all 8 or so figures the boot sale seller had but I just got the two. Returning to the same stall last week all the other figures had gone. Serves me right!
There are no makers marks at all in the visible areas.
Any ideas who he is readers?
The car in the first picture is a 1909 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. It was indeed issued by Matchbox as a Model of Yesteryear. I have one I picked up a number of years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Silver Ghost! Yes! Thanks Anon!
DeleteMy Missus has a bunch of 1/6 scale action figures she uses as pose reference for the fantasy graphic novel she's working on. One is a Ghenghis Kahn soldier figure (made by Dragon?).
ReplyDeleteMaybe this figure is a similar item?
Hmmm. I'll look into that Looey, thanks
