Thank you, my Friend.johnboy wrote:I would agree with Ghosty Mike, I see these at Toy Fairs sometimes. For the smaller number of collectors who like them, I would say condition is important. So keep it and enjoy it for what it is.
This weekend i bought off different sellers a randal driving test game,and off someone else a box of train accessories,and in the driving test game is a plastic phone box and another plastic one in the accessoriesGHOSTHUNTER wrote:Hello Mike & Nico,
Your little red metal phone box models look like the ones marketed as 'MASTERMODELS' during the mid 1950's, these in turn then being made in plastic by 'MERIT' as part of their extensive range of OO/HO model railway accessories from the late 195o's, into the 1970's.
The metal Mastermodels were usually manufactured by B.J. Ward, as a 'WARDIE PRODUCT' and made in England.
The plastic Merit models were made by J & L Randall and also made in England.
