super6 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I really like those old boxes, and especially interesting to see which boxes were used for the 3 furrow plough & muledozer before the packing crate style boxes were introduced. I like the bagged sets of Barrett's chickens even more - certainly haven't seen those before (but I do, of course, have some of the chooks as loose items) Are these Barrett's chickens by what was Taylor and Barrett? so after a(Post War?) split? or repackaged Britains. Its a nice logo on the packaging looking like a stylised soldier in bearskin hat not too dissimilar to the Britains logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_scrivener Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Are these Barrett's chickens by what was Taylor and Barrett? so after a(Post War?) split? or repackaged Britains. Its a nice logo on the packaging looking like a stylised soldier in bearskin hat not too dissimilar to the Britains logo Yes, those Barretts, and yes the logo is similar to the Britains guardsman logo. I'm not sure who copied who. A.R. Barrett and his sons Alfred and Bert started their half of the post-war reincarnation of T&B at 9 Sonderburg Road (1946? 1947?), apparently a small and unsuitable building for a toy factory, and had to move out in 1970, when it and the local area were demolished for redevelopment. They moved out to New Addington, near Croydon, where they rented a part of the factory of A. Barton & Co. (Toys) Ltd, who made dolls houses and the furniture to go in them + other stuff. The Barretts had known Mr Barton since 1953, and had sold most of their dolls house items via Barton & Co since then. About 1982/3 Alfred & Bert Barrett were approaching retirement, and Mr Barrett senior had long since died, so they sold out to Bartons, who continued to make the dolls house items, but probably not the farm stuff. The other half of the former partnership, F.G.Taylor & Sons (actually son Fred jnr and son-in-law Fred Squires - must have been confusing) lasted about the same time, circa 1946/47 to 1980, and were at 22 Hampden Road, Upper Holloway. N19. As is well known, the old T&B factory was destroyed in the wartime Blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
