Found these photos on Facebook of Peter Cushing's figure collection which I haven't seen before , here he's dusting a Britains Howitzer .
Peering at the figures in the cases he seems to have collected Britains farm animals and machinery as well as toy soldiers . I wonder if the trees in the bottom case are the old 'Merit'ones ? . There's a Naval gun and Hussars on the top of the cases as well - an impressive collection . (my father used to wear a cardigan like that - but without the collar and tie).
Think I've seen this one before (from the Peter Cushing Appreciation society)but a classic period photo of the great man .
PS found another one , again from The Peter Cushing Appreciation Society .
Great pictures! I haven't seen those before!! Thank you for finding them!

ReplyDeleteBack in the day when casual attire was replacing your tweed jacket and brogues with a cardigan and slippers!
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to cardigans ?
DeleteAnother great find, fantastic pictures.

DeleteAnother reason to wear a cardigan and cravat. Thanks for posting these...
ReplyDeleteI have a cravat - but never dared to wear it !
DeleteTony, I collect toy soldiers, and DVDs of British pre-1980 Horror-films. Only a few days ago I watched Peter Cushing in Night of the Big Heat. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteMichael
He was a marvelous actor .
DeleteExcellent photos. I only wish my own artillery was as dust-free!
ReplyDeleteAnd mine !
DeleteDon't forget the cravat, as seen in the last photo. That's when you know that a gentleman is really letting his hair down :-)
