Hello my name is Joby, I am 41...I recently got a few Britains pieces left to me from my father, and am waiting for them get here, my sister is bringing them up here for me. I used to help him with his ebay sales and purchases, and know he used to have a real nice collection, not sure what his new wife and her son are going to have left for me, as they sold all the coins and pocket watches I was supposed to be left with, but I am eager to see what they are giving to me...
I was not able to bring back any of the books with me to try to identify the pieces, as I could not afford a carry on bag on stupid Spirit airlines, so once I get them, I was hoping maybe for a little help identifying some of them if I cannot figure it out...
in the meantime I have a stumper for lead figure collectors...most likely NOT a Britains set, here I am assuming, but was hoping someone might know what the heck it is anyhow..I will post some pics of the Britains things when I get them here and see what they are..There is some sort of small marking on the bottom of the teacher, but looks more like some sort of initials...
in the meantime, anyone know who makes this little set? It appears to be an angry looking music teacher with a stick and some poor child being forced to learn how to play the organ... I am not sure if it is vintage or not, but I imagine it is, as my father always had some real nice stuff, I am hopeful I will be getting the planes he had, and the zeppelins, but am not holding my breath as my sister said it is not a very big box....I do plan to keep most of the items I think, even just to store them, but would also like to know what they are as well....
so here are a few pics of this weird organ player/music teacher set I have now, I googled all day and could not find it anywhere, which of course is not surprising..If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it greatly..There are 4 pieces, the teacher, the bench, the student, and the organ. The box is non-descript red, but smells fairly old….thanks in advance...
