Re: Unidentifed from my collection

I will be continuing my read and comparing what I have, hidden deep in boxes somewhere, but I will get to them eve...

Re: Unidentifed from my collection

I now have the book, the globes could not be anything other than Regent, as pictured in the book at the bottom of page 136. I have been in touch with Paul Brookes who confirms this. It seems that William Lowes "Would have a go at anything" as quoted by Stephen Lowes. However, I would say t...

Re: Unidentifed from my collection

Not that we are going slightly off topic here, but this must be a good way of dating the wardie pump, as it had the analogue dial it must be one of the earlier editions. I have tried to clean the dial but it turns out to be paper so next time I won't use soapy water and a tooth brush again! Also, gu...

Re: Unidentifed from my collectiom

Positive ID. I have heard from a collector who tells me it is pictured in a book by Paul Brookes called The Illustrated Kemlow Story. This probably makes it a Master Models, Wardie, product. I have ordered the book. Kemlows did not make die cast toys for very long but did make some for other compani...
