This lot comprises a collection of mid-20th-century British toys, featuring farm models and character-themed items. The farm collection consists of lead and die-cast metal pieces, primarily attributed to Britains Ltd. Vehicles include two red tractors with green wheels, one featuring the International logo on the engine casing, and a blue four-wheeled tipping trailer. The hand-painted figures include a farmer with a pitchfork, a milkmaid with a pail, and two mounted riders on galloping horses in green and blue coats. Animal and accessory pieces include a Friesian cow, horses, a foal, a dog, a chicken, a pig, a gate section, a metal anvil, and a manger with a haystack. Also included are three painted composition scenic rock outcrops.
The character memorabilia features items inspired by Enid Blyton’s Noddy series. There is a pair of ceramic character egg cups depicting Noddy and Big-Ears, both retaining their original red felt hats which serve as egg cosies. These are accompanied by their original cardboard boxes; the Noddy box is marked Breakfast with Noddy! and Noddy Egg Cup. Additionally, the lot contains two His Master’s Voice (HMV) 7-inch children’s records: Noddy at the Police Court (catalogue number B.D. 1294) and Noddy on the Toyland Train (catalogue number B.D. 1295). Both records are held in their original illustrated paper sleeves featuring nursery rhyme characters such as Humpty Dumpty and Little Bo Peep.
