It looks as though you have unearthed a gem! In recent times I have had to take note of toys as I will have to buy them with increasing frequency. It would appear that there is quality toy-age to be had for a mere €2! Something like this could have set me back a christmas and a birthday's worth of presents back in the days of short trousers, toffee, bullseyes, marbles and catapults (I have just invented the kind of childhood that could be stored in faded and slightly rusty biscuit tin!). However whether the whelps of today would appreciate such a marvellous toy remains in doubt. You'll have to create a new category called 'Magnificent Toy Monday' for items such as this... you may even get corporate backing! This is truly a great find, 'manky' it ain't!
