Lot Essay

This set is not listed in any Britains reference books or listings, and was released for a very short period of time, to coincide with the release of the Disney feature film.

The vendor remembers as a little girl receiving this toy 'for the Christmas of 1938, but unlike most recipients of Father Christmas' munificience I actually know where he obtained it, having pressed my nose against a toy shop window and assessed it as being beyond his means. I can't remember how much it was but, to an eight year old, it seemed a lot of money. The toy shop was in the Square (most probably number twenty, though long since gone), St Anne's-on-Sea, Lancs.'
