Flea Market Roaming August 2021, I finally get a chance to relate my flea market finds. I have a Youtube from Brian Heiler. Brian is the author of Rack Toys and did an interesting video on the subject.
Flea Market Roaming August 2021 Finds
Hurricane Ida
I just want to let people know Laurie and I are fine. We got at least six inches of rain. We are on high ground so we avoid the flooding that other people got. I will check on a few friends.
The Highlander is by TIMPO
There was one standard body with swing arm – Bugle, Standard, Sword and Rifle
You are very lucky to find one intact, as this set suffers from “brittle plastic aging syndrome” and are usually found with the arm missing
Great find Paul
It was mixed in with some Crescent for the assumption. I have a habit of finding good figures.
finding UK figures in the states is always the challenge
The clown is a reduced size Hong Kong copy of a Fontanini figure
Once you mention it I realize who they copied.
Glad You and Laurie are doing good!! Happy Anniversary to You Both Late too!!! Have a Great Labor Day Weekend!!! Rik and Lois
Don’t you brought and/OR sold many of those mule-or donkey with pack from Mexico long ago? ,I remember those you or other person sold were in green and orange colors or fiesta colors typical 80s/90s from Mexico .The 60 mm mule from Marx are my favorite but I think animal is suppose represent a donkey rather than a mule ,the detail in animal with non horse tail a robust big head and larger ears made it looks rather a donkey .While mule are often in many variation the tail is like the one of horse and differed a lot from donkey .The one in Marx is definitely that of a donkey I wish I could get more as they can be use from ancient to even Viet Nam wars period .I have 2 vintage in light cream color and two recast fiesta colors The Atlantic mule or donkey looks more like a mini pony or dog by scale with figures or very small donkey with poor detail sculpted
The seated girl waving is one of six suburban kids made by the Auburn Rubber company. They were made in pink rubber like vinyl in the 1950s and red polyethylene in the 1960s.
Thanks for the correction.
