Leakeyvale Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Very nice wooden cottage and animal shed (lacking roof and pen walls but not a problem). I do not generally buy farm buildings but this was too good to miss and the pump came too. (Thanks David for the pointer to these) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_scrivener Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sue, Glad you lke them. I look forward to seeing a photo of the cottage and the restored hen house/pig sty in one of your dioramas. As I told Sue when I told her about hte lot (I already have 2 of the cottages & the other one), the cottage was made by Amersham Toys, the other one unknown, possibly Peacock & Co or (more likely) Hailey Models. Neither mentioned by seller, who presumably had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cottage is really very nice, a rub over with some bread will brighten it up. (Bread is excellent for getting rid of marks on paper especially greasy marks. NEVER use a rubber as that damages the surface - here endeth the lesson!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_scrivener Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 i went to a 'Fleamarket' at the Bath & West showground this morning and bought: (1) For £20 a box of 1930s Elastolin style (although some may have been made in England, possibly by Peacock & Co) wooden fencing (made of real twigs!) 20 fence sections, 5 gate sections, 2 bridges, + 3 wells, an Elastolin lying cow & 4 assorted poultry + some damaged stuff. also, not farm, but still collectable old toys (2) For £45 Britains #1613 boxed set of WW1 infantry charging wearing gas masks in post 1946 style box. (3) For £13 a bag full of Gemodels (George Musgrave) plastic cake decoration figures, including 6 x bagged sets of cricketers, diving ladies etc. Before setting up on his own, George Musgrave had been a figure designer for Britains Ltd. Last I heard, George is still alive, although in his 90s, and still owns a toy museum @ Eastborune. (4) For £8 a not pristine, but good enough for the price, Britains large scale lead racehorse from their 'Racing Colours of Famous Owners' series 1925-60. I already had another horse (different colour), so now need 2 jockeys. Anyone here got any? I very much doubt any members here collect this series, but someone may have acquired one in a job lot which has been sitting in a 'swapsie box' ever since.

david_scrivener Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Update: On close examination one of the wells has a sticker underneath: Transogram Made in USA Transogram, offices in New York City, is a company which I've only associated before with their plastic copies of Britains/Herald and Timpo swoppet type cowboys, Indians, American Civil War & Knights figures which they had made to order in Hong Kong in the 1960s/70s. I've just checked in Richard O'Brien's book of American Toy Soldiers & Figures, and find Transogram started in business back in 1915. Apart from this well I've just bought I have no idea what else Transogram made before say 1958. I also haven't found much else made in the USA in the way of wooden farm buildings by anyone in the style of those made in the UK, France or Germany. A whole new line of research to keep me off the streets. I'd guess the well was made about 1930. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
