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.
