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

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.

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 👍

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

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

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.
