catalogue

Almost every year Tri-ang published a catalogue with all new toys. As far as we know they did not made special catalogues for only the large vehicles. (Which Tri-ang did for the Spot-On or Minic series) The first know catalogue is published in 1906. I'm collecting Tri-ang catalogues for a couple a years. My first catalogue is dated 1928 and listed as No.19.

Displays and leaflets

In 1963 Tri-ang launched the biggest toy campaign ever in the U.K.
JUNE	SEPTEMBER
OCTOBER	DECEMBER

In Holland we found this beautiful cardboard advert dated 1960.

It hang for over 40 years in a toyshop in the Dutch city Dordrecht.

Although is was printed in England, we think it has been drawn by hand by a Dutch Artist " Van Der Zijde" who signed it .

Years later the same cardboard showed up in the U.S.A. with the "Cool Look" additian.
