I went to the general antiques fair at the B&W Showground here at Shepton Mallet today. One of the outside stands, mostly furniture and a lot of galvanised buckets & similar items, which had a couple of old suitcases of toys. One was all toy cars & similar, the other more of a mixture. In it I found 3 old wooden farm/village buildings, Britains plastic young birch tree and Britains plastic pig (plastic version of the old lead pig) and, the real find, a lead JoHillCo greenhouse, in very good condition apart from one roof strut gone. "How much for the lot?" I asked the man (who by his accent could have been Portugese, Spanish or from somewhere in south-east Europe). "£15 the lot".

I managed to keep calm as I paid him and bagged them up, as the greenhouse usually changes hands for £100 to £120. Result!

I showed it to a few of the regular toy dealers there I know well - and they were all really jealous.

From other stands I bought:

Britains lead cow feeding in the rare ochre (Jersey?) colour, which I think was only sold in 2nd grade boxed sets ('Sunshine Toys' or 'Rainbow Toys') circa 1950. £5

Timpo/Zang RAF pilot in composition, circa 1947. £2

3 more farm buildings, all pig stys, one marked 'ARCO Toys' underneath. £25 the lot.

A few plastic figures @ 50p each, including a Gemodels Red Indian and an unusual plastic copy of the old lead Britains baby elephant.

Just arrived: Siku Vintage Hay Wagon, completing my Siku vintage farmer implement collection! Just need 2 more tractors for the full set of those too...

 

A job lot of Ertl 1/64 farm toys, all MOC and dating from the 1980's.

 

A chalk or plaster haystack, thatched and rectangular in shape and about 3"x 2" x2.5" tall. No idea who made it, but I reckon it's early 1950's or so.

 

Can't buy any more until next month now... :-)
