Yes, as Blogland gets bigger, it's easy to miss a post or two, and not so easy to leave a comment on each blog as when I started blogging and following other blogs. Thanks for visiting - let's keep a look out for other boxes in the set!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-51904159079630736232010-10-25T19:44:13.557+09:302010-10-25T19:44:13.557+09:30Hi Pubdoll, how wonderful that you have a Barton t...Hi Pubdoll, how wonderful that you have a Barton toaster from when you were a child! It's the same toaster - Barton made their furniture themselves, but the diecast metal & plastic items, and other metal items like the tea trolley and shopping trolley, were made by other people - Barretts for the diecast, Mr Rickard for the wire goods, etc. Mostly the toaster would have been packaged by Barton, but for a while Barretts put out this novelty set.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-85807782196926768172010-10-22T05:21:09.156+09:302010-10-22T05:21:09.156+09:30Hi Rebecca.

Great post and what a lovely collection you have and, of course, you actually have a set of those ducks in flight! <br /><br />The little boxes are great. What a shame they never produced the spring scales. <br /><br />Pan xPanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242035809526284600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-30775866696754440722010-10-19T07:34:23.473+09:302010-10-19T07:34:23.473+09:30Such wonderful accessories!

(But springy is a better word :-))<br />I think I have admired the ducks in your Italian Villa style house before, they are lovely!<br />And the pop-up toaster reminds of a pop-up toaster I have, which I think is by Barton. I bought it with my own money among with a lot of other dolls house accessories on a summer holiday in London when I was ten. Luckily I still have at least one slice of toast!Pubdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437757001376468255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-7853550317574536282010-10-16T23:35:26.176+09:302010-10-16T23:35:26.176+09:30Thank you, CM!
