My first post, early Husky leaflet
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2015 8:06 pm
Hi everybody,
although this is my first post to the VBD forums, I have been signed up for quite a while and have been a regular reader but never got around to taking part.
2014 was the 50th anniversary of Husky Models, I believe they were launched just in time for the Christmas season in Woolworths. I was only three years old back then, so my memory of that is not too good.
Some of my earliest toy car memories are of Huskys. The two Buick Electras, SD Refuse Truck and the Ford Camper along with the four car garage were my favourites back then. In later years when I started to collect things from my childhood, Huskys were rediscovered and I collected more than I ever had as a child.
I will post pictures of my models as time allows, but thought it would be nice to start with the earliest leaflet. This shows the first 25 models in many unreleased colours, the price of 1'8 (one shilling and eight pence) was around 8p in new money as we called it.
Cheers,
John
