New Toys (1957)

Brighton, East Sussex.
Various shots show new toys at the Brighton Toy Fair; a model train set; a kind of animated movie mirror, mounted on a record player - it looks like a zoetrope. Nice M/S of a woman putting on lipstick; she hands her mirror to a small girl, who uses it to put on her new lipstick that can be eaten when she gets bored of it! The girl plays with a small puzzle game with sweets in it.
Other amusements are a money box; a rocking horse mounted on springs; a small metal-framed stock car; a V-X Rocket is pumped up to be launched on the beach.
Note: on file are several notes on toys and exhibitors at the Toy Fair plus correspondence.

I was born in 1961 and my sister in 1959 we had the exact same rocking horse!

I was born in 68. Remember that horse from going to playschool, it was called th Mobo Prairie King. Also the Mobo Bronco galloping horse and the riding horse with the carriage attached. I had the standard Mobo rocking horse with the metal boed rockers while my little sister had a Triang nursery rocking horse (metal seat and plastic head) and we had a matching Triang tricycle with the little jumping lamb on the seat. Toys were made to last then and be passed on.

Yeah,with all so many toys that is easy to broke and isn't really a worth playing with.bit the ones that is built to last should be passed on down to the next generations to generations.

How enough did they think that edible makeup was a good idea?
