Dinner For One!

Hi Woodsy

I am afraid I do not know too much about this furry gentleman, who is about to tuck in to a pretty substantial looking fish dinner. Apart from the fact that it looks to be friction-powered, Made in Hong Kong, and was numbered No.417 on the underside.

There are two wheels under the red box, and a single wheel under the barrel. Bizarre, but cute.

Four photographs from Worthpoint.

The rest of the Dining Cat photos. I have no idea what his real name is. Another toy I stumbled across while looking for something else.

Yours Sincerely,

Paul from NZ

Greetings from Reeth

Happy New Year's Eve readers! 

Japanese SPV's

 SPV's and then some! 

Marx of the Gorilla

 I saw this image while searching for the old horror flick Equinox.

I'm uncertain if it's actually from the film.

What is for certain is that the gorilla in the scene is this Marx toy complete with flimsy chain and shackles! 

I'd have loved this King Kong as a kid.

Anyone have or got one?

JETGARRY! WOW!

 Further Japanese brilliance! 

Sheer genius!

Betamax Lives!

Being a fan of old film tech I was sorely tempted by this vintage Sony Betamax VCR I saw in Shipley. 

Looking like something out of a space station it was huge too. The price of £100 was more than I could justify as well. I have very few Betamax tapes.

A gorgeous thing.

Do you like it? Have you any old tech like this?
