smallclaas Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Very nice 72, love the catalogue that will add to the value in years to come, you lucky so and so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 cheers for that .I have a few catalogues dating back to 1966 but I didn't have one of this type . I have seen them on ebay before but they usually go a bit silly ,price wise . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Still got mine with a few ticks on as what I wanted for Christmas that year! ::)o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 They are nice I think Nigel .On the outer box for the tractor is some pencil writing . Its on the back where the implement pictures are ,some of the implements are ticked off . I don't mind a bit of character like this in a model .

THEBRITFARMER Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Nice buy there Steve, the animals in the catalogue do they include plastic versions of the lead mould, herald and Britains ? Looks like a cross over catalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 yes ,well spotted .The boxed stes on the catalogue look to be herald but some of the others are the plastic animals made from the lead moulds .Some interesting animals were made in this period .
