Muffin The Mule

Post by RVREVO »

Always wanted one and this one was a bargain at NZ$50.
no box, and the rings are missing.
its the oddest diecast in my early Lesney Moko collection.
A lot of collectors who have seen and handled him up close got really excited.

Try a curtain store for small brass rings. My one and only Lesney toy as a kid that I got at Xmas when he came out on sale as I used to watch Muffin and Anne all the time and I got belted for bouncing him across my mum's polished wood dining table and scratching it all - last I saw of Muffin as he went for a walk I was told !!!

Very nice Richard - you got a great deal there.
For the rings try Spotlight of Ike & Geoff's Emporium - branch in Dominion Road http://www.ikes.co.nz/contact.html

mokosex - what a great condition & with a box! Very nice.

My latest Muffin came with its own display stand - tribute to Annette Mills & the TV show - Muffin on a piano.
