Regeln » "The heyday of the British toy

LONDON Harrison Phillips Youth Jersey , Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Favorite toys that have had British children spellbound for generations are featured in a new set of postage stamps issued Tuesday by Royal Mail.


The Classic Toys stamp collection celebrates some of the most iconic and much-loved British toys from the last 100 years


Evoking feelings of nostalgia across generations, the toys featured in the postage stamps include the Merrythought Bear, Sindy Doll, Spirograph, Stickle Bricks, W.Britain Toy Figures, Space Hopper, Fuzzy Felt, Action Man and the construction kit Meccano as well as Hornby Dublo model trains.


"The heyday of the British toy industry remains a magical era, one that shaped childhoods across the generations," said a spokeswoman for Royal Mail, adding: "In the 19th century, the growing middle class of the Victorian era was fuelling an expansion in toy-making and major names in British manufacturing started to appear and compete with foreign makers. These toys remain hugely popular today, a testament to the innovation of the creators."


Royal Mail's Philip Parker said: "British toy makers enjoyed a reputation for quality and innovation, and these nostalgic stamps celebrate ten wonderful toys that have endured through the decades."
