About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

L is for Lambert . . . or Their Toys!

I shot this on Mercator Trading's table at Sandown Park last November as a new to hobby name, so it should be newish to Internet and is certainly new to Blog! Lambert Brothers of Acton, North London, nothing else known!



The farmer appears to be a poorer copy of the Fylde one (Joplin, pp127), the fencing a sub-copy of Britains, while the chickens seem pretty unique, but the larger animals look like Benbros (Joplin, pp23) who also do the farmer, so a better clue there, as to where Lambert's may have got their (Christmas?) stock. Thanks to Adrian for letting me shoot these.
