I managed to make some time today to create new pages for Cyclops, Moldex, and Ross Plastics. The Cyclops page I should have added ages ago, but I do not have much in the way of toys, just a fabulous Cyclops Toys sales brochure from the 1960's. Moldex Ltd made plastic toys in Melbourne in the 1950's and was also acquired by Lines Bros in the UK. Moldex produced a number … [Read more...] about New pages for Cyclops, Moldex, and Ross Plastics

Cereal Toy or not
