Cowboys to me were the knights
of wild west. Just like my toy knights my Timpo
cowboys were well play worn and hold many
memories.
There you will find a
photograph of nearly every hollow-cast Cowboy
and Indian produced by a UK manufacturer. Their
condition varies from excellent to play worn,
The challenge for me was to build a set of
figures, that did not cost a fortune. It was
just fun collecting figures from my
childhood. There are some gaps, hopefully to be
found someday, patience is a virtue we are told,
certainly you need it in collecting..........
Timpo
produced what I consider the best range of
hollow-cast under their Wild West series. Lead
figures were produced from about 1949 till
their move into plastic models in the mid 50's.
