Brown paper packages tied up with... favourite things

 I haven’t seen R in forty years or so. We had got back in contact and hoped to catch up over coffee, however that was not to be. He had hoped to give me some figures when we met up but in the light of things posted them instead. Here are some splendidly packaged flats and medieval knights. A fascinating mix of great figures old and new. Thanks R for your kindness and I look forward to that coffee which is beginning to look like a possibility around a corner or two.

Any help identifying the figures would be gratefully received . Here they are in resplendent packaging too-

    The ones with the fishing fly / dart gun plumes are Timpo 1950s Knights of the Round Table, close to being the last lead figures Timpo produced - I shall send you a couple of pictures by email.

    According to Norman Joplin Great Book of Hollowcast Figures, The red standing figure with broken sword is Lancelot, black standing plume Mordred, yellow raiding horse and man Gareth (or Arthur? Missing shield and Lance?) linked to the MGM Knights of the Round Table. No idea as to collectible value ...

      The plumed knights have a real charm about them.

    Love those Timpo early medievals, it was such a great idea the way they added plumes. You still see some of these old figures for sale, they look quite magical.

    The magic resides in the plumes very much indeed.
