AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 You could try your local museum but failing that I'm not sure, our local library has posters on loan, never seen them but that could be worth a try.
AnonyMouse_2157 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 have you tried contacting the museum of childhood in Bethanl Green, London. They well might have a catalogue or museum shop that stocks toys. There are also working museums like the Black Country Museum in Dudley; Ironbridge in Staffordshire or the museum near Chester le Street in County Durham (name escapes me; something begining with B ) Don't forget that the toys we played with when we were young count, sadly, as history; rubik cubes, clackers, (watch your knuckles);Pipa (remember her!!) french skipping ropes, two balls against the wall (oh the days ); car boot sales are often a good source for these more modern things. Hope this helps, have fun.
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Not sure if you can copy and print pics from ebay but there are certainly lots of old toys advertised for sale!
AnonyMouse_1208 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 If you search for 'old toys' on Google Images you should get what you need - will cost to print off though!
