Went to an antiques centre today

You'll never guess what happened today!  - my stepsister was just coming in from outside and she said "I've just found this on the drive!"

And it was the original rake!

Obviously, it had somehow fallen out of the box - probably through the large hole in the polystyrene. I had carried it level on my lap in the car all the way home from the shop, but how lucky was that!

That's a wonderful buy Damo - hope it's the first of many Playpeople sets for you.

What a nice find!
There's something very appealing about the simplicity of these early sets.

Many, many years ago I went to an Antiques/Collectors Fair just outside Inverness, and I found a couple of Playpeople sets too. One was a British Bobby policeman still in his original box and the other was a boxed set of Knights Accessories - wooden table, bench seats, and lots of chromed accessories which were still sealed in their bags.

I very rarely find Playmo at the local boot sales, so it was a big surprise to come across these vintage sets.
Of course, I had to buy them! From memory, I think the Bobby was £2 and the accessories set was £4.
