| Thankyou for sharing Old price lists are very interesting, but I am not sure what currency. You had franks and centimes at that time, but what does "s. d." stand for ? I had to look up Wend-Al on TAW and can see they were quite in the high end of quality . They are very, very charming |

| S d stands for shillings and pence, which was the UK currency before we went decimal in the 1970s. I don't know why they used a d not a p Interesting to see the inclusion of landgirls in so many of the farm sets, that's really telling of the era they were released, and still there into the early 50s pricelists. I wonder how long it took for toys to go back to all the farm workers being men? |
