I found these photos on the Britains Toy Soldier Facebook page , the are of the Britains factory at the time of the 1953 Coronation .
This young lady seems to be painting figures.
OMG ! fancy having to paint all those figures !!!
The full Coronatin coach and escort - bet it cost a pretty penny in those days - it certainly would now !
More wonderful finds Tony! When you actually see all those soldiers waiting to be painted, it makes you realize what a hard job they really had! And when you consider how beautifully the figures consistently turned out, it's a true testament to these artisans of yesteryear!
ReplyDeleteYes a production line indeed .
DeleteSuper stuff! Nice look into the past, kudos to the ladies that painted up all those lovely troops.
ReplyDeleteYes they must of been able to do it in their sleep !
DeleteA delightful blast from the past Tony…
