Does anyone know if Martin is still producing or can be contacted?

I don't know if he is still in business, or even still alive. I used to be on his mailing list, but the last time I got anything from him was before 2000. I lost track of him when he moved from Kunkletown to somewhere further north in the Poconos. He may have passed away by now. I'm curious if anyone else has any more recent info, too.

Prost!

Well, now, I just did a quick search on "martin ritchie toy soldiers address" and found a result (Spokeo.com) that lists him as living in Gilbert, PA:

https://www.spokeo.com/Martin-Ritchie/Pennsylvania/Gilbert/p411490521

That's all I can get, though, without an account. That, and his age, 76. That would be about right. But it's a little more than we had before.

Prost!

If no one here knows, you could try Ray Haradin, of Old Toy Soldier, email is raytoys@aol.com. Ray's also from PA, and he's an auctioneer and collector in his own right. He may know more.

Prost!

I ordered from him two years ago and he was still active. Not sure as of today though

Rich, he's a good friend of Mike DeMarco and he's still around. Give Mike a call tomorrow.

Hi, Rich, did you happen to get contact info for Martin, and find out if he's still producing sets?

No not yet. I spoke with Mike DeMarco who is friendly with Martin and asked if he could contact him for me. Nothing yet but thanks for asking.

An update-I got to talk with Martin at Jim Hillestad's open house two weeks ago. He has a new business address:

Martin Ritchie
PO Box 323
Gilbert PA 18331

He does not have an online presence.

Martin is doing well He is still producing his figures, but he's working on more of a per-order basis. If anyone is interested in his sets, you should contact him at the address above.

I hope that helps for fans of Martin's toy soldiers!

Prosit!
