Rare Seated Tiger Vintage 1946 - 1950039s Britains Ltd Hollow Cast Lead Toy Model No.992 Circus or Zoo
15 GBP
Rare English Vintage 1946 to 1950's Britains Ltd. Hollow Cast Lead Toy Seated Tiger Wildlife Animal Model from Circus or Zoo Series. Number: 992.
This seated tiger is rare as it was only made by Britains Ltd. in London immediately post World War Two (from 1946 to the early 1950's) and is therefore highly collectable.
It can form part of either a Britains Circus display (as a performing tiger) or a Britains Zoo.
There is no damage to the casting of the model, which retains its original paint work. There are some rubs to the paint and some small areas where the paint has flaked off. Overall the tiger is in very good played with / play worn condition given its age.
Please study the photographs provided to make your own assessment regarding the condition of this item.
This is a private sale from a pet and smoke free home. The tiger has been with the family since it was purchased new.
The tiger is approximately 3.5 cm high and approximately 5.0 cm long.
I would prefer the buyer to collect, and pay cash on collection please. However, I would be willing to post the tiger to a location within the United Kingdom, at the buyer's own risk, for an additional £7.25. In this situation I would make every reasonable effort to pack the tiger carefully so as to help ensure its safety. Regret no returns accepted.
I also have a small number of other vintage Britains lead animal models for sale which are well worth considering. If buying more than one item from me I would be happy to post them together and only make one charge of £7.25. Thank you.
Note: Items which contain lead are hazardous and should not therefore be given to children under 14 years old. Although originally manufactured as a toy, subsequent UK legislation means this tiger model is now intended for adults.
