Farming in Miniature a Review of British-made Toy Farm Vehicles Up to 1980: Airfix to Denzil Skinner - Rilegato
Farming in Miniature is an essential guide for collectors of British toy models interested in farm tractors, farm horses and associated agricultural equipment. Many of the toys identified and described have never previously been mentioned in collectors' literature. It is being published in two volumes. Volume 1 covers the following: Airfix - Authentic Model Books - Benbros - Britains - Budgie - Bullock - Chad Valley - Charbens - Cheerio - Cherilea - Childs and Smith - Coral - Corgi - Crescent - D.C.M.T. and Lone Star - Deltoys - Denzil Skinner. The manufacturers / brands are arranged alphabetically. Each manufacturer has its own chapter introduced by an account of its history. These introductions cross-refer to the captioned photographs that follow and which make up the bulk of the chapters. In their general introduction the authors say that they have 'attempted to illustrate all significant variations of colour and packaging, particularly of rare or unusual models, so as to make the book as comprehensive as possible.' The three authors, all leading authorities, have drawn on their extensive past experience coupled with another five years to research, write and prepare photographs.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This is the first volume in a new two-volume work which will be the first to present the full range of British farm toy manufacturers up to 1980. Together, the two volumes deal in detail with 67 manufacturers and brands, arranged alphabetically from Airfix to Wend-al. Together, as a catalogue of British-made toy farm vehicles, the two volumes serve as a detailed guide for collectors, while still holding interest for the non-specialist. Evoking nostalgia for the toys of our youth, the abundance of photos demonstrate the fantastic output of British toy manufacturers during the twentieth century. With notable brands in this first volume including Britains and Corgi, the scope of subject-matter runs from horses and carts to farm tractors and machinery, and processes include early cast metal, zinc die-casting, tinplate and plastics. Over 2,000 photos across the two volumes attempt to illustrate all significant variations of colour and packaging, particularly of rare and unusual models, making the books as comprehensive as possible. Each brand's history is clearly described, and brief captions describe the features of the models. A glossary and indexes will be included in Volume 2, which is due to be published in 2014. The first volume in a new two-volume work which will be the first to present the full range of British farm toy manufacturers up to 1980. Evoking nostalgia for the toys of our youth, 970 photos demonstrate the fantastic output of British toy manufacturers during the twentieth century. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781908397553
