Ponty Packed

 Missus Moonbase and me have been out to Pontefract dropping off charity bags and mooching round them at the same time.

Ponty's turning out to be a good place for vintage toys and stuff with its well-stocked  charity shops, the Etsy shop and the Magistrates Court packed with goodies.

My only purchase was a bargain I thought, £3 for all these old badges. There's some good ones you'll no doubt remember: Sky Ray Moon Fleet, One with TV Times Tivvy, Man from Uncle Bubble Gum, Batman, P'Nut Spaceman (What's that?) and more. I was chuffed with Aztecs, which I adored as a kid; Bruce Lee and Fantastic, a comic I got as a nipper. 

Did you have any of these?


More stuff I saw were:

Trikes, bikes and a colossal crane lamp.


Triang pedal car


Soviet pedal car, also in blue too 


One of many Star Wars figures cabinets


Raleigh Chopper, £1200! Ouch! I had one as a kid. Did you?


Lots of action figures



90's Stingray Marineville


Big Trak and figures including Rock Lord and Dungeons and Dragons.


See anything you like?

  1. Congrats Woodsy! Those badges are a real bargain, many nice ones there. Were they sold together or did you pick them from a larger lot?

    1. Cheers Arto. They were in a large tub full of badges. There's loads left: Sham 69, Jelly Tots, Double Agents. Great fun.
