Help please

Does anyone know who made these little AA motorcycles picked up at Potters Bar
The darker one looks to be a later issue as the label is shaped to fit and there is some flashing from possible die wear

Hi Reg
I believe what you have there are Wardie Master Models
No. 50 Which originally came as a set that included, the motorcycle, a patrolman rider,and an AA call box

I'm not sure on that Reg
doesn't look like they are falling out of the trees, but seems they can be found
A quick check of through sold listings showed this one

The Kemlows book lists the AA box, patrolman and motorcycle set (Master Models no. 50) as common. Interestingly the box was sold separately in pairs (Master Models no. 61), but it looks as though the patrolman and motorcycle were only ever available as part of the set.
