Description:
The culmination of 20 years of research by the author, this magnificent book fills the remaining gap in the history of lead hollow-cast toy figures, both military and non-military. The book features a history of hollow-cast figures, a comprehensive A-Z of manufacturers with over 60 company histories, including such firms as Britains, Timpo and Chrilea and lesser-known firms such as Abel and Laurie. There is also an extensive inventory of each manufacturer's products, including a guide to rarity. From the well-known soldiers, coronation coaches and animals to the more obscure gnomes and space figures, every aspect of life is covered in these marvelously detailed hollow-cast figures. This internationally recognized reference work will make a treasured addition to any collector's library.
