This black beauty is stalking through the exotic jungle looking for …..? Given to me by a very dear friend for a birthday many years ago. I have never seen another although he has two cheetahs who are good friends
FOREST TOYS PANTHER
SAMOYED. This beauty is not in my book The Forest Toys of Brockenhurst as he is a recent addition and it took me a little while to identify him. A lovely addition to the pack
Dairymaids The difference in these three Forest Toys dairymaids is really interesting. I would think that the one on the left is an update on the others as she has a shorter skirt and pink legs with shoes instead of boots.
ANNIVERSARY
Two years ago my book was first published. It has been posted to so many different countries and the popularity of these wonderful toys keeps on growing
Forest Toys Father & Son
Out for a Sunday walk, correctly attired in plus fours, cap, waistcoat and tie. Mother & daughter are probably at home cooking the Sunday lunch.
EASTER DONKEY
A very Happy Easter from the Forest Toys donkey family. These three are from my book
FOREST TOYS PELICAN
A very strange bird is the pelican
His beak can hold more than his belly can
This is a lovely example, standing 2 1/2″ high, he has metal legs and a three part body
Kangaroo family
Forest Toys of Brockenhurst
Following on from the royal visit down under – a family of Kangaroos including a baby in mum’s pouch, from my book
Correction to The Forest Toys of Brockenhurst
On page 50 under the section on dogs, at the bottom left hand corner a grey and white dog has been shown as a Chow Chow. It is in fact a Keeshond. These dogs were used as guard dogs on Dutch canal boats.
The Chow Chow is the red coated dog shown here
Forest Toys, a champion CHOW CHOW
A new addition. This Fluffy Chow Chow is in his section of a Dog Show kennel awaiting judging. The kennels comprise 1 x 6 and 2 x 3 sections, each with a fine chain to keep them in place. I think this one has certainly won a prize, but where is his rosette ?
