Phillip Segal - minor vintage UK manufacturer

I'm pretty good at identifying vintage UK figures, so anything I don't immediately identify (doesn't mean I have them, just that I usually know of them) is probably pretty rare.

No identifying marks of Segal items - you just have to go by the cartoony style.
As you've no doubt already read in this thread, there is the added complication of moulds being bought/sold/copied/etc.

Hi
Many thanks for the info.
My favourite items are motorbikes by Britains, John Hill Co and by Fry.
I don't have a big collection by any means I keep the best and sell the rest.
I see that the forum has a selling area. Will probably make use of that at some point.
Have recently put a couple of my collections on eBay as I have a shop there. Like most things it started as a hobby and went in that direction last year. They are of the Cameron Highlanders. If you want to check it out my store is called cscshop2013.
Finding good reference books is hard when you are starting out. As I say I have only been doing it for a year. Do you have any suggestions. My friend has the yellow Joplin book which I have borrowed for the week along with The Great Book of Britains. Both I like. Also have personally the A Rose book ACollectors Guide to Toy Soldiers.
Regards
Nick

My policy on reference books is to buy all of them!
For starters you need all of the main books by Joplin & his pals:
Joplin 'Yellow'
Joplin 'Green' (non military Britains lead, which includes wild west)
Joplin 'Blue' (non military other UK makers lead)
If you collect/deal in them, also Joplin US Dimestore (cover different shade of green)

I have spare copies of a few other books I could sell. I'll get them out of the box they're in.

Do you collect/deal in plastics too? If so, you'll need all the 'Specials' published by Plastic Warrior magazine.
And the 5 books about Britains plastic by Barney Brown and/or Peter Cole.

Hi
Many thanks.
Just been on Amazon and ordered Joplin Green, Richards book and J.Ruddle books plus one other. The later three cost a few pounds in total. The Joplin one more expensive.
Let me know which ones you have for sale and prices.
Have just posted on the non animal thread.
Regards
Nick

Dave do you know who made this item? Regards

I'm not sure because lots of companies made very similar, more or less, copies of Britains mounted Life/Horse Guards, but my best guess is JoHillCo.

Many thanks.

Hi Nick - Thanks very much for sharing. You have a really nice little set of Segal toys which I always enjoy seeing, given the family connection.
I have just sent you a private message about one of them and I look forward to your response!

Hi and thanks.

I think these are Segal as well.

This looks very close to the pilot on page 211 of Joplins yellow box.
Not the best condition though.

That last one isn't PST but thanks for sharing!

Hi
Many thanks. I wonder who did make it? Search goes on...

Hi.
I notice in earlier threads by Oliver. Is it me or are the pictures no longer visible? Probably me. Lol.
If not visible could you re post for me please.
Also does anyone else have Phillip Segal toys to share?

Oliver seems to have taken them down for some reason.

It would certainly be nice if he put them back up.

How about Ollie?

I put a couple of these up for identification on this site earlier but I think looking at the 'Dorset series' these are from that.

The goose, ducks have been combined probably not by the manufacturer.
