Toy Knights Website and Future Museum (1 Viewer)

[Neilfsmith]

As part of my retirement downsizing, I am in the process of selling off my beloved toy soldiers. Through eBay, I met Pierre Neven who purchased several of my Jacques Cuypers Knights as well as some Peter Cowans. He has created a website dedicated to Collectible Toy Knights called www.chevalierdelenfance.com which translates to Childhood's Knight. It currently exists as a virtual museum containing thousands of pictures, information about toy makers, shows, collectors, books, forum, etc. Sort of like this forum except focused solely on Knights. He continually updates the site with the help of many other collectors. He informed me it will take 2 or 3 years to finish it in French and after that, another year to translate into English. Has has also begun to tackle the task of finding a place to exhibit the figures. He is Belgian so I assume he will establish the museum there.

If you get a chance, take a look at his very interesting site and perhaps share some photos of your collection with him.

Yes, this is a great website, I've known of for a few years, and find it a wonderful place to see figures from the medieval era,

thanks for letting other know of it,
