Andy Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 There are plenty of toy soldier books Bill, but one that seems to bridge the gap towards farm stuff, and I find particularly interesting is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Britains-Civilian-Figures-Schiffer-Collectors/dp/076431520X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 There's another good one, a large format soft cover by Norman Joplin titled 'The Great Book Of Hollow-Cast Figures'. Lists and pictures all manufacturers and rare and unknown as well. A very good book for the collector of the old cast figures and animals etc. Another recently published is a book on Britains Herald from 1955 to 1969 by Barney Brown.

david_scrivener Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 There are plenty of toy soldier books Bill, but one that seems to bridge the gap towards farm stuff, and I find particularly interesting is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Britains-Civilian-Figures-Schiffer-Collectors/dp/076431520X Plus, of course, the other two in the same set, one on other UK makes of non-military lead figures, and the one on US Dimestore figures, military and farm, etc. I don't much like US Dimestore, too 'cartoony', but an interesting book nevertheless. I've never understood why there wasn't any zoo ranges in US Dimestore; after all, they have zoos in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 There is also the David Bate book Britains Model Tractors & Implements. One on EBay at moment, I am not the seller! Britains 1953 reprint as produced by Honiton Antique Toys shop, closed now I believe? 1939 reprint 1940 Almark facsimile/reprint Two very good books by Joe Wallis on the pre and post war Britains lead range. Out of print now but worth seeking out. And of course there are the catalogues, brochures, leaflets and lists produced by Britains themselves and the fun of tracking them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 .....Honiton Antique Toys shop, closed now I believe? it was still open a few weeks ago when I was Saturday shopping. It now only opens for a few hours a week and no longer has the quality of items it used to have. Still worth a visit though ifyou are in the area.

I believe his opening times and hours are very erratic. I've bought stuff from the shop but he's always been on the rather high side with his prices I always thought. Most of his stock of toys and models I have seen in the shop had an element of damage so he's obviously bought at rock bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
