Items from My Collection Interesting items, I got a chance to photograph some items from the collection. Some of the items have been with me from my childhood. Other figures are more recent needs. I hope enjoy the journey.
Items from My Collection Interesting items
As I have related many times due to health reasons at five I could not go out to play. I took my figures and did stories. Many of the figures from that period survived such as these three Crescent 54mm Western figures. I don’t who got them but they were in many stories.
Recently, I got a copy of the Crescent Indian chief with a spear and a shield. you can see it was pantographed. The Britains Herald cowboy with a lasso came in the same lot.
Another figure from my childhood is this three-inch cowboy from Marx. Marx made a series of three-inch figures. I liked this pose but hated that it was out of scale with my other figures.
Looking for figures for my stories I started looking at figures from aboard. Here is a figure from France that I could use in various stories.
This search led to me building a collection as acquired interesting figures. On the left is a Hong Kong copy of the Timpo army. The middle figure is one of the many race track figures. The figure on the right is a Trojan Japanese.
Another grouping I have no idea who made the figure on the left. The middle figure should be by Torgano of Italy. The figure on the right is by Beton. It is one did not see until I was an adult. (Thanks for the correction Detlef on the pirate.)
Finally, some recent additions to the collection some I may have others are new.
Update on My Naughty List
The Remco figure has sold at my asking price. This happens a lot where I get an offer and the piece sells at the asking price.
I had to add another person to the banned buyers’ list. The person claimed that they did not get their items. I accidentally enter the tracking number wrong. Instead of contacting me, he went to Ebay. What if the person did not know I had the tracking number? I am old school not using the Ebay labels instead going to the post office. I got the number off the slip and filed my response. Ebay sided with me. So another person is on the banned buyers’ list.
hello Paul.. the red pirate figure is not from Manurba.. it comes from Italy from Torgano
Detlef
Thank you for the correction.
I had the Crescent Robber figure back in the Day,it always used to irk me how easy the paint would flake off of them,The local 5 & Dime used to have bins of Crescents,that’s where I got my first Russians to combat my Kellogg’s GI’s.
Like the Pirate and love the Trojan Japanese 1
