Just one photo this time, of a few of the limited farm range produced circa 1960 by this group of three connected London based companies, all of which were owned by Jewish refugees from Nazi occupied Europe. It is believed that Speedwell did the actual manufacturing, changing brand names underneath (although not all figures are marked) as required for their friends.

These three companies are better known for their WW2 figures, mostly copies of Herald, Timpo and Kentoys soldiers, sold in small display packs, each comprising two soldiers and one piece of ruined building wall or other battlefield scenery. They also did a fairly extensive wild west range, many of which were produced in several colour versions, which is another range in which I suffer from obsessive variation collector syndrome.

I don't know if your system allows it, but if possible it would be best if you changed the text in a few places to make it more like an anonymous Wikipedia style entry.
