Bought two years ago during the last spate of Western toy posts, this ended up not being blogged as I got distracted and moved on to other things. Ideal's Fort Laramie had always been on my bucket list but this was the only piece I ended up with - so far. As much as I'd love to get the whole set at once, being on a tight budget usually means that I have to acquire it piecemeal. It's sized for rather large 60mm-70mm figures, the type Ideal is known for and the remaining fort pieces are all tin-litho as well, I s'pose I'll have to work at getting those now huh?
The HQ measures: 20.875" (53.022cm) W overall at the roof line x 5" (12.7cm) D
x 6.125" (15.55cm) H
Everyone carries on about how nice Marx graphics were, but Ideal (as well as T. Cohn) also did outstanding work.
If you even want to sell it, I'd be interested
ReplyDeleteNot any time soon as I just got it not that long ago :-)
