Plastic Showcase Recent Finds, first, I will share some recent finds. Next, we have some requests for information.
Plastic Showcase Recent Finds Interesting Figures
One of the items I picked up was this colonial bugler. He is 54mm. The horse is wrong for the figure but they came together for a dollar so I will keep them together.
In a previous post, I showed the male circus performer minus a base. I said that Beton elephants and horses had a hole drill you could plug either the female or male figure. I was able to get an elephant with the hole drilled in its back. Here you can see the elephant with the male performer. I am giving this to a friend.
I am always surprised by what I can find in junk boxes. Here we have copies of the Crescent 60mm Indians and cavalry. They were done in China. I wonder if they did any of the other Crescent western figures? The copy figures are 54mm.When I saw these dinosaurs I found them interesting as I had not seen them before. The seller had no idea who made them. When I got them home I look at them closely with a magnifying glass. I noticed the letters ROM and searched through Ebay. I discovered that the ROM stands for the Royal Ontario Museum. They were made in Hong Kong and gray is the original color. They were later issued in other colors. the dinosaur on the left is an Albertosaurus. It is a type of Tyrannosaurus. It was named Albertosaurus because it was first found in Alberta, Canada. We will have more interesting finds soon.
