Nevins’ Big Flea Market Find

FA 2

Paul,    Best flea market day this year so far. Picked up this Giant Fort Apache lot.
 
 Brown wagon with tan top, hitch and horses complete. Missing the seat.
 
10 (count ’em, 10!!) Long Coat Cavalry, including the 3 command riders in beautiful light blue. I have these in Aqua, but have been looking for the light blue for some time now.

Cream FH&R. Horse is perfect.The rider has a chew mark at the very tip of an extra long sword. Otherwise perfect.
Cream wagon driver minus his whip.
Fort Apache
 
4 Metallic blue 60 mm Cavalrymen. Six 60 MM Marx Indians.
Yellow and red 54 mm Indians, totem pole and 2 TP’s. 2 Indian ponies.
10 horses ( 2 Western, 2 wagon horses and 6 Cavalry horses)
15-20 MPC ringhand Indians and cowboys.
 
More later. I’ll take more pix.
 
I found a nice sized lot of HK copies of Elastlion Romans, Vikes and Normans, all with weapons. It looks to me like it may be a complete bagged set.
 
18…. 40 mm Elastolin Romans and ECW??
 
6 Spanish Knights in boxes. Mounted and foot all made in Spain.
 
Another bag of Elastolin copies of Romans. Maybe 10  but no weapons. But you don’t see these in 20 years and then twice in one day. Amazing!
 
There’s more. I’ll get back to you tonight or tomorrow….Bill

  4. Michael Purchase says:

    Nice find. Do you have plans for your 40mm Elastolin Romans?

  5. Greg Liska says:

    What a find! Just need that mounted officer in light blue. m….you got plans for that damaged kneeling firing cav man in metallic blue? 😀

  6. Bill Nevins says:

    Paul, I forgot the first thing I bought Sunday. A yellow clown that’s part of the English NODDY series. Believe it or not, I got it from the same guy who sold me the other 2 figures. He hasn’t been at the market since then. I knew right off the bat that it was going to be a great day when I got the clown for a buck. I also forgot the Donald Duck figures that are most likely Auburn. I’ll get pix to you later on today.

    I was really excited to find the brown wagon in such great condition. I already have the cinnamon colored hospital wagon top and the tannish/flesh wagon that it goes with.
    Marx wagons are

    Erwin, I am probably going to sell them. They ain’t cheap!!! Make me an offer after the pix are in.

    Greg,…… sorry buddy, these are MINE…………Bill

      Bill I don’t see any pics here of those I want ,but I did send an email to early morning, hope you got as it went fine so far..thanks

  7. Greg Liska says:

    I’ll survive…but it’ll be a cold, hard existence. Hope he fixes up nice. Seems like it’s just damage to the base. Ought to be easy to hot-cold treat it, then glue the foot and knee back down.

  8. Michael Purchase says:

    Hi Bill
    I sent a reply to you this morning about your 40mm Elastolins. It bounced back to me as undeliverable. Would you please send me a contact email to establish a link between us. Paul has my email address.
    Thank you
    Michael

    Greg,

    I got some damaged cavalry if you want them. E-mail me and tell which ones you want. I’m sure I have the kneeling firing pose with a short rifle.

  10. ed borris says:

    Actually, I checked and I don’t have any kneeling firing with a short rifle, however, I do have the next best thing, a complete rifle but weak.

  11. Michael Purchase says:

    Thank you. I look forward to hearing from Bill. What a wonderful site you have Paul.
    Thanks
    Michael

  12. ed borris says:
