1972farming Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Does anyone know anything about Glyntoys. I have just bought some nice old lead farm animals which are all boxed. The are in plain card boxes marked GLYNTOYS, FARMYARD SERIES Made in Loughborough. The boxes are similar to the Britains picture packs but with out the art work. I'm really chuffed with them and would just like to know some background if anyone can help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have to admit I have never heard of them but they look absolutely gorgeous especially the kneeling cow. I wish I had seen them first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 I must admit that somebody did bid against me but I had to have them when I saw them. They really are very nicely made, they almost feel solid but I am not sure. I can't believe that there is next to no information on the company. They came at a good price too......................

Don't rub it in :'( Why not ask a wider audience and write to one or more collector magazines. Model Farmer (of course).

1972farming Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yes ,I will try that. Surely someone will know something. Sorry for rubbing it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_scrivener Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I had a look around the net. I can't add much, except there was a horse & cart as well. This opens up a whole new, previously unknown to (almost?) all of us, range of items to collect. I wonder what else they made? Who knows, some of our 'unknowns' might be GLYNTOYS as well? Are those cows hollow cast or solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I will have acloser look over the weekend. They are quite heavy which made me think they were solid but I will let you know when I have had a better look. They are more textured than Britains animals and i like the kneeling one.
