Tractorman810 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 where abouts in cornwall paul? you dont tend to come across many toyshops down this way now, especially what seems to be an independent one, only one i know of close to me as such would be tavistock, and you do find some gems in there, in old style boxes from time to time, sort of place that has kept everything that didnt sell and puts them out at times .

Sounds like a good place to visit Sean. I was staying in Hayle and happened to drive through the town instead of using the bypass. I had a bit of time on my hands, as the key holder had a 2 plus hour trip back to Exeter so didn't want to leave very late! It's not far from Asda's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not far from Asda's Blewetts is it called, I used to get some bits of older stock Britains in there, they used to even have some old individual figures , animals etc in there a few years ago just like toys shops of old.

super6 Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 A few additions to my collection from the last few months The top two items were traded with a member on here. Not sure of the year, possibly 2020? The shelf edger is 1250mm long x 40mm tall The shorter shelf edger bought from his mate at the same time, it is 1000mm x 40mm. Pot luck getting this one, being in the right place at the right time. Big thanks to both of you 👍 Another A5 competition entry form from 1988 I think, this item also came from the same forum member. The poster can be seen in an earlier post of mine The reverse side A closer view of the wheel wobbler as seen above, it is 140mm diameter Reverse showing wobbler mechanism spring! A McDonalds advert from 2003 supplied by another forum member 👍 I can remember seeing this as a full size poster in a bus stop shelter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 A Herald Trade Box from the late 60's/70's I think Not used for the farm range as far as I am aware, but I liked it and it sort of fits in, ish! 42381 Arched Header Board from 2008-09 for the Shop Display as seen elsewhere in this thread. It is 920mm x 270mm high approx That is it for now, doesn't seem to be much out there at the moment, not that there ever was loads and loads 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Acquired this from a 1974 trade catalogue along with trade order forms for January. The farm printing block I have shown before. I think JMD has the small B with soldier in. Has anyone else any? Obviously, they are reversed Size is approximately 80mm x 40mm 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) A couple of recent acquisitions the card item was shown by Tom in an earlier post but I have one now, yay. Not sure of year, maybe 2020? It is 1200 x 200mm ReverseCatalogue dispenser, suspect this is 2022 as it came with the current catalogue Without! I think it will only hold about 5 or 6!

jmd Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Think they could be 2019 fairly sure that's when i picked mine up. I saw a catalogue dispenser in a local toy shop last year and enquired about it they asked me to leave my number and they would get back to me, i never heard anything so went back in a few weeks later and it had gone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Collected this today, same picture to reverse so an Isle Hanging Card methinks, it is quite big at 500 x 750 approximately. Presumably it is from 2023 as it shows the NH T7 300. Not a lot about at the moment, I did acquire some plastic shelf edger's and a few card posters that fold not quite in half, one was better than what I already had, rest are surplus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
