Payton Job Lot

I didn't think there'd be a toy post for a while, but this job lot of Payton Western toys just came in the other day. The lot had different colored teepee's than what's currently in the collection plus there are two walls to the Payton cabin in colors I don't yet have - bright blue. Now the hunt is on for the remaining pieces in those colors! Fences are always nice and this lot had enough to make a five-sided corral. Only two of the four horses were suitable for all those rider figures unless the riders are hot-glued to the horse. I'll try to knock out some photos of those teepee's this week. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Payton Log Cabin - Brown/Brown SP

Another Payton cabin showed up as part of a job lot. This one is brown-on-brown. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

It didn't matter how hard I tried, getting the tabs on the roof to fit either on the inside of the walls or outside just didn't work out.

The two cabins received from prior job lots

This one was a hybrid. The walls were part of one lot, while the roof came from another.

This is my favorite - I love the colors on this one

Payton Cabin - Chocolate Brown/Tan SP

Here's the second Payton cabin I got in a job lot. I like the colors on this more than the other one but I'm still thrilled to have them both - especially when I wasn't expecting them and didn't know who made them at first. Enjoy! Opa

Payton Cabin - Brown/Aqua SP

In my quest to track down vintage Old West buildings suitable for ohhh, let's say anything from about 45mm to 60mm figures I guess, comes this odd building from Payton. While I've blogged Payton Little Green Army Men before - they were a favorite of mine as a kid - this is the first time blogging any of their Old West toys which I don't recall having as a kid. I called this piece 'odd' because Payton sold it as a 'cabin' but really, it just looks more like a blockhouse for a fort than it does a cabin. But hey, it does add variety! 

Some months back, the pieces for this cabin came in a couple of separate job lots. Apparently the aqua roof would normally have been paired with aqua walls but I'm liking this combination much better! The walls 3 3/4" sq., the  roof 4 1/4" sq. and it's 3 1/4"H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
