Unknown Garage - Maker?

Post by tractorboy »

Trying to find out the maker of this garage for a fellow collector. Tried on-line but no luck - thanks in advance for any information.

It has "Made in England", fairly small stamped in 2 places.

I think it may be made by Wardie (Master Models).

It is a Kemlow (sometimes rendered as Kemlows) product. (Wardie and Master Models were two of their ranges.) I'm at work and so without my books but, having had a quick Google, I think it was issued as a Master Model, possibly under the catalogue no. K.59.

This is covered in a book by Paul Brookes the illustrated Kemlows Story and this garage was also touched on in this thread here.

The garage is known as K59 Private Garage and also comes grey with green doors, in green with red doors and grey with red doors version. It was first made in 1957.

I wrote to the publishers of Ramsay's about this garage back in 2010 to include this in the volume 14 edition of Ramsay's British Diecast but they listed it as K58
