Shand Mason Heaven

Post by bobneumann »

Here are the Shand Mason Fire Engines we found in the collection we are sorting. There was one set of black metal figures that will be disposed of separately. We have to make sure that we do not mix up figures as I am seeing differences in these and I would rather leave figures off if in doubt. I am using the Yesteryear Book Third Edition as a reference for boxes to match up. I have to be careful as those "dirty white" horses known as "Grey" and the "Metallic Black" horses known as "Bronze" are difficult to see and I have no reference to see what these actually are.

The cream/grey v white are fairly obvious when seen together.

Looking at your pictures, all your horses look white.

Bronze v black is more difficult. The difference is pretty subtle, and hard to photograph. Also depends on your computer monitor set up for clarity.

Bronze on the left, this is the best I can do after 10 attempts!

The blue driver is Lledo I think.
