You are buying a lot of 3 Meccano Matchbox GPO models and a Post Office issue 1978 Busby Enamel Pendant. All date to the reign of Elizabeth II and date between the 1960’s and 70’s. At the time of manufacture the Post Office comprised both the Postal and the Telephone service in a quasi-detached relationship

All the items shown, except the van, are now very rare

 

The Telephone Kiosk is a K4 type introduced in the UK in 1937, the standard UK telephone box that tourists know and love, and bears the Queens crown

 

The Van is the older standard bulk delivery van used to ferry sacks of letters packts etc between sorting depots, typically made by Bedford and bears the Queens cipher

 

The Post (pillar) Box is of the type that remains in the street today and bears the Queens cipher

 

The Busby pendant is something that is a little bit special. Part of a promotion for increasing the use of home telephones, especially in the evenings and mornings. The promotion was primarily, what proved to be, a very popular television cartoon advertising series, search Youtube - Busby telephone.

 

 Busby was a sparrow that lived in the wires and at the top of telegraph poles and was voiced by Bernard Cribbins. Busby proved so popular that many public facing external engineers were greeted by customers as ‘Busby’.

 

Because the television advertising was so popular there was only early promotion material, mainly round badges. The pendants were in very low production and very few remain. This one is dated 1978 and copyright PO ( Post Office ).

 

All rare, very, very rare as a group !

Item Description

I am always concerned that any buyer is entirely happy with a purchase arising from my ‘Description’. However, the items sold are vintage and may not meet todays regulations or even meet the origionl manufactured specifications’. All items are entirely described by the photograph(s). Additional supplementary information is provided by the written description which starts below the word 'Description'.. The classification of 'new' or 'used' or 'for parts' is entirely overridden by the 'Description' and the 'Photographs'. No refunds are possible for any miss-‘Description’ except where the goods are clearly not those on offer. The entire description of the goods is the photographs, any words used are a verbal description or additional highlighting of what is in the photographs. In any clash between the words and the pictures the pictures will always take precedent and priority over the words. Any technical specification must be confirmed by the any potential buyer from their own sources. All goods are purchased entirely at the buyer’s risk and the buyer should satisfy themselves about the detail of any specifications before biuying which requires them to look at all of the 'photographs' and if necessary ask for further information. There is no implied warrantee outside of the ‘Description’ and 'Photographs'. Where a photograph does not show a major physical defect this will be described. All goods, even new ones, will have minor physical defects such as scratches. The buyer must be satisfied that the goods conform to what they want to buy before buying.

Electrical goods typically sold are collectors items and do not conform to any current regulations the electrical goods are only sold as suitable for collectors display purposes. When sold as ‘Working’ the meaning of ‘Working’ is that the goods will only conform to the auction ‘Description’ of the function of goods and will not be warranted to conform to the original specification in any way. If described as ‘Working’ this means the goods were tested or examined in some imprecise way some months before sale and they were ‘Working’ then and put into storage. There is no implication that they will work in any way that meets your expectations upon delivery that have not been advised to me before your buying except as arising from the implication of the previous test or examination. ‘Working’ when applied to mains supplied equipment specifically means that they were tested on a temporary basis by a trained electronics technician. You must have the item tested and if necessary rewired by a person qualified to do so before plugging anything into the mains regardless of your perceived abilities. ‘Untested’ means that no power has been applied or any other means of testing has taken place, however there may be a part physical examination of the goods which forms part of the description. Electrical and electronic goods are sold for restoration and display purposes only

 Buyers

. I reserve the right to refuse a sale to a buyer that does not meet any of my auction conditions, or who has negative feedback and I reserve the right to block potential buyers for any reason and advise others that I have done so and why. Where items are supplied as wrapped, or new, and are then opened, or used, or altered in any way by the buyer, there will be no refunds under any circumstances whatsoever.

 If the buyer leaves negative feedback, then any offers, discounts or refunds are immediately rescinded upon leaving that feedback. Upon leaving neutral or negative feedback the buyer will be barred from participating in any of my sales. If the buyer uses another identity to make a purchase then the sale will be cancelled and the buyer will be reported.

If you want to know anything about the item for sale, always ask before buying.

You get what you see in the pictures except any 2p coin (that's not included), nothing more.
