Description
A remarkable opportunity to own a Britains Factory Castle built by Britains and made available only to Britains dealers circa 1934-1936 (Note that the dating of this castle predates woodworked buildings by Hugar for Britains, circa 1939-1941). According to the Britains Smallwood Notes, 16 various "forts" were made over these 2 years to be made available on loan to merchants who wished to uniquely display Britains figures. Castle measures 29.5"X21.5"X17.5" high, the drawbridge works, a glass moat spans the front of the castle. Also included is a professionally framed letter from Britains Ltd to a dealer telling how best to use this castle, dated September 1936 (letter was found in the "dungeon" of the castle), lending authenticity to this lot. James Opie, Rob Wilson, and Norman Joplin have all agreed this castle is the genuine article. This is the only example known. 1 piece. Condition very good-excellent, small crack in mirror under draw bridge and 1 small lantern for inner courtyard is missing. No box. ***Additional Shipping charge to be
