F&G Taylor

I only have a small selection of these mainly accessories.Not sure if the duck pond is made by this company or not.

Those buildings !!! They are ever so charming

And the horse and cart, - how old are these models ?
It must be extremely fragile

Thanks Susanne.I think they are 1960s or 1970s but not certain.They are remarkably sturdy and in very good condition for their age!

You were surely very young when you entered in your own company, Taylor! Is it a family brand? Does F&G Taylor means Father and grandfather Taylor?
Are they Britains sized? :

Hi Roger

Most of F.G. Taylor and Sons products were Britains sized but some of their accessories were to a smaller scale.

BTW the F stands for Fred and one of his sons was also called Fred!

Also they used the trademark FGT 'For Good Toys'.

Interesting collection here Taylor. I have just got back into collecting F.G. Taylor and Sons products along with Barrett and Sons and find them very hard to distinguish between the two. A lot of both companies products are just marked England and some are unmarked. Hopefully there is FGT or B&S somewhere on the item so identification is confirmed.

BTW I have just purchased a duck pond from Barney Brown and he listed it as a F.G. Taylor and Sons product so this is good confirmation that it is from that company.

Thanks Chris for all the info,great to know!I think I may have some Barrett and sons models somewhere as well.

Yes, books are important but it is always needed something more and you have it too.
I wish my cook books had served me for something.
