Future exposition of vintage zoos and figures at Hamerton zoo

Hello forum,
Not sure about where put this thread. Maybe, being an event, it could be put under "Celebrations" but actually is not a celebration. Well, admins move it where you want if you think that the thread is misplaced.

Here's the link for anyone interested:

Interesting

Thank you very much for posting the link here on STS.
That's a very interesting project and I am happy that it has found it's way to STS now.
The owner of Hamerton Zoo is also a big collector of old and new zoo enclosures and also animal figurines by different brands.

The zoo has been working on a wonderful project for quite some time:

An exhibition with zoo enclosures and animal figures by different manufacturers:

Old and new models, including games, books or postcards fitting to the zoo-theme.
I am supporting this project for some months now. For example finding models on
Ebay Gemany or send package to UK, if sellers doesn´t do that.

Maybe our admins can move the topic into another cathegory.

This is a dreamful project and I hope all these treasures find a way to be musealised. This is a remarkable promotion to this collecting hobby. It is good to remember that soldier figures are relatively common in museums or expositions but animal themed series like these are really rare.
Yvette is surely one of the best persons to support this project and I am sure both parts are really happy. There are a few other collectors that are experts in vintage zoo replicas and I hope some of them are also envolved.

WOW, nice idea..¡

It would be very important for the zoo to make an agreement with some famous brands, to give gift

visitors animal figures, thus extending our Hobby.
