Wow - that is a big rocking horse!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember building bridges and archways with our Meccano set. (I say 'our' as It probably belonged to my much older brother and by the time I was ready for it, he had outgrown it)
I don't recall seeing the xmas stamp with the boy with the railway, nor do I have the middle value.

I only remember the rocking horse stamp. I liked looking at the ambitious projects available to make with meccano but never built any.
ReplyDeleteI remember having a rocking horse.
ReplyDeleteBob these are just great! I still have a rocking horse out back for the children to ride!
