No Hurry at Harrisons

 A visit to Harrison's emporium in Rotherham is always fun. Vast halls of Old toys, vintage furniture and sausage butties in the cafe. What's not to like!

Here's a few snaps of a recent trip so you can enjoy it too.

Tune In and Fire

 I've always loved little radios. As a kid I had a small portable transistor. I don't think I had a radio gun but I would have loved these.

The Transogram Girl from Uncle Radio Pistol. How cool is that! The Flashlight Whistle is pretty smart too!

Here's another fab toy bullet firing radio from Japan. It looks really ace.

Do you have any toy radio guns?

You flatten bread bags and save them for re-use another day!

Arto at Vintageland 2025

A couple of weekends back, with Vintageland and the Old Toy Swap coinciding, it was Heaven on Earth!

 I got to spend a good three hours at Vintageland on Saturday, and then a second serving on Sunday. On Saturday, I managed to visit also the Swap for its final hours.

My purchases were mostly smalls, except, finally, for a complete Clifford Batmobile (that beacon is the tricky part). It was a long journey, but well worth it!

I found an interesting lot of vintage pencil sharpeners, some by German manufacturer KUM, in various guises (mini television, revolver, football, abacus, automobile), plus a lot of plastic sheriff badges by a Finnish manufacturer Plasto.

 They were 1950's chocolate premiums, and there was an individual badge made for every U.S. state!

 Bought also that Heinerle Manurba Tarzan figure, remembering your great Tarzan recreations.

This is a You Tube video of the Vintageland event.

Enjoy!

Which do you like the most?

Kang Moguras!

 I found this Kang figure and a massive plastic auger at the car boot! 

Yes!

Kang Moguras! 

The auger is the same colour scheme as the Masters of the Universe Man at Arms figure too!
