Found Cache of 60 year old Beton Beat Cops (1 Viewer)

[Gideon]

I have over 100 of these figures now. They are awesome - like old NYPD uniforms circa late 1940's.

What the heck do I do with them???

Gideon: Are they the hard plastic Betons with the rectangular or peanut shape stands or the common light blue softer plastic figures? Leadmen

 

[Gideon]

They are the softer blue and red ones.

I was thinking of posting them to my website as product. If sell them at a justifiable, cheap enough price then I think modern parents will pick up these figs for their kids.

Gary: I think the ones you have are Auburn Rubber. I have those poses by Auburn. Beton made two police poses. Traffic cop with hand raised and one walking with a nightstick. Also they made one fireman carrying a axe. John

John is there anything you do not have? I bought those Beton Cowboys and Indians from you awhile ago.

Those are the hard plastic versions of the figures I have. I kind of like the soft plastic ones better.

Anyways, I've got them and they are new condition.

What do they normally sell for? I tried looking around on eBay and didn't see any.

 

[Leadmen]

Gideon: I would not know what they are worth today. I bought the hard plastic ones for $4 $-6@ The soft plastic ones I got on a deal from Bill Lango who had bags full of them. I think they were >50 cents each. That was 10 years ago. I don't see many Betons in good shape at the shows lately. I would guess they would be worth at least five dollars each. John

Here are some Indians. American made, how rare is that?

 

[Leadmen]

Don't forget the cowboys.

 

[Gideon]

Those are great.

Were you the one who bought the boxed sets of hard plastic figures from me? Those were so cool.

I wish I bought the ones from you, but I picked these up individually at shows. John
