Both these Forest Toys Indian and African elephants are happy to share a watering hole in such hot weather. The babies come in a variety of sizes and poses as well as the adults. Their tusks are made of lead.
Forest Toys Polo pony and rider
Something suitable for the hot weather perhaps? rider and pony taken from my book although I have to admit the ball (if that is the correct word) isn’t original.
FOREST TOYS FOXHOUNDS
Although the Forest Toys Foxhounds are the most easily found dogs, a family like this is very unusual. Adult dogs also come scenting and running. Look out for an open mouth version of the latter. These are some of the fifty plus to be found in my book The Forest Toys of Brockenhurst
Dromedary
To go with the Camel, a sturdy footed chap this one with a sawdust finish.
Camel and Arab
Another one from my book the Forest Toys of Brockenhurst this colourful Camel and Arab rider in flowing robes are visiting the oasis, all this was made as part of a boxed set.
Great Dane
This beautiful dog is another one made by The Forest Toys of Brockenhurst from my book and is rather like the real one we used to own.
Forest Toys Donkey
This factory sample shown in my book, clearly shows the joins and note the cheek and ear in one section.
Doll’s House book
Not my book, but a very good friends and well worth a look on www.ciderhousebooks.com Excellent photos and information about 17th, 18th and 19th Century houses.
Forest Toys West Highland White Terrier
West Highland White by FOREST TOYS OF BROCKENHURST
From my book this hardy and tenacious dog was bred to hunt otter, fox and vermin. They also make excellent guard dogs too. This little chap stands 2.5cm high.
Chimpanzee
For those of you who have my book, a small correction. The primate on page 64 is a chimpanzee not a gorilla. I had not seen it for myself until recently.
