Interesting. All these figures have LB in cursive script on the base and I have quite a few London Bridge boxes. I knew that Ron was using the Britains spare parts that he was licensed to sell. But, I believe someone had told me that as long as there was a certain percentage of original work...

I have a few sets of figures from London Bridge when they were based in Emmaus, PA. Are they still producing their own line under the new ownership in TN? I know personal preferences vary by collector, but, did these figures ever generate much interest? Pics of some of the sets can be viewed...

Thanks Mason. See the pics in the original post. The cartoonish characters should be the 3rd pic. The 4th pic shows the base for them.

I want to thank everyone on here for the assistance towards identifying the pieces in this collection. It is not 100% complete. But, I have uploaded quite a bit of what's available ahead of the MFCA show this weekend. A price guide is available upon request if you are not able to stop by our...

Found it. All parts present and accounted for. Thank you. https://oldtoysoldierauctions.com/auction/215-otsa-90-bring/lot-44-blenheim-b53/

Would any of these logs or campfire be theiasung pieces?

Edit ... The SOTW IDs in my previous reply run left to right. Dyslexics of the world untie!!! Edit 2 ... I've been told that the Dorset figures I claimed to be Boers could in actuality be Sudan War Sailors.

For those who may not have seen it, there is a Britains Edition of The Great Hotel ID Project. Swing in over to the Britains Glossy section to see the figures posted there. In the meantime, here's a few more I have not been able to put a pin in. Thr Soldiers of the World Romans I have...

Thanks, Tom. Al helped me identify this set as White Man's Burden by Dorset. The guy in white that I had pictured above with the Egyptians is the only figure with the GB on the base. From the on line examples I've found of this set, he definitely belongs here. It's interesting, though, that...

If you saw my post in the General Glossy section, this is an addendum to that call for help. Long story short, I'm stuck in a hotel room 3.5 hours from home and brought a bunch of soldiers with me to sort, ID and box up in preparation for the MFCA show in Philly. I have a ton of stuff from all...

I can only imagine what the housekeeping staff would think if I didn't have the Do Not Disturb sign in the door.

I also discovered that the Egyptians have what looks like a GB scratched into the recessed bases. The recess has made me change my opinion of those 3 figures being Imperial.

There's a mark on the base of the Marines, but, it's hard to make out. These are the best 2 of the bunch.

Just at Christmas to that set name and you nailed it. Thank you. https://michtoy-from-the-front.blogspot.com/2018/12/fridays-with-farley-aka-another-dose-of.html

Part II .... I was having a hard time with the natives carrying the bloke on the chair. The whole set was in a Fusilier box. But, as I have learned, what's on the box doesn't necessarily represent what's in the box. Interpreting Dave's handwriting presented its own challenges as well at...

So, work sends me out of town and I'm holed up in a hotel 100 miles from home. What do I do with all this free time? Try to put a good dent in identifying what's left of the unidentified soldiers in this collection. Thanks to Boerboy for helping me knock out a good chunk of this. But...

These are not mine. Grabbed the picture from an eBay listing. But, I do have the same figures by Charles Hall.

I have a bunch of Quartermaster Corps boxes to reunite with the correct figures. The pictures with the white background all have the full brand name on the base. No brainer that they go with the boxes. But, there are some guys without bases. Can anyone tell me if the guys pictured on top of...

Scrolled through all 45 pages and didn't see this set

I did not. But, I get the impression that that might be a good idea. :LOL:
