A few years ago I purchased a load of metal miniatures from a builder that had done a house clearance for a new owner prior to starting work. Rather than skip the minis he put them on FB and I purchased them. I was only interested as I'm a collector of sci-fi and fantasy miniatures and he had a load of Games Workshop stuff (Imperial Guard Praetorians which are basicaly 28mm brits from Anglo-Zulu war but with laserguns..........)
Anyway in with all of the 28mm sci-fi stuff was another box. I barely glanced at it at the time, I opened it up took a look and saw it was a load of 54mm historical and stashed it in the shed. I've been going through loads of old hoarded stuff during lockdown and I've finally gotten round to taking a look at this lot.
As far as I can tell it looks like a load of Mountford Metal Miniatures stuff. Mainly Zulu war Brits and some ACW stuff. i 'think' there's also some Hinchcliffe in there and also some painted Last Stand Miniatures stuff as well as some Yeomanry Miniatures bits.
I think this stuff may have been cleared from a casters premises as there's an awful lots of bits and pieces in there such as a large zip lock bag full of a pair of hands holding a field map pieces - about 100! Also bags full of identical heads and also what looks like some master castings that have been used as dollies for variants etc - these pieces have new sculpted additions and copper wire for seams etc. This theory could well make sense as I've discovered that Mountford was based in Duckmanton which isn't far from me (and I popped my cherry with a girl from Duckmanton! ahem)
Anyway, I thought some of the older, wiser heads on here would know more than me with a view to ID'ing some of this stuff and a possible valuation should I look to move them privately or via eBay. I think some would find this little lot interesting.
I'll post pics over a few posts as I can only attach 5 per post.
Thanks for looking
