C109 Playing Cloth

A late 60's ? example of the classic Subbuteo playing cloth. Made from 100% man-made nylon and shows very little signs or wear. There is some minor creasing which will probably iron out, some food stains and a small cigarette burn which won't really hinder play. The pitch will be delivered in a strong postal tube for protection.

Ken Baily Figure

A rare and much desired figure from the C.114 mascot and bench set. It is thought that this figure had quite a low production run of about three and a half million and in common with the odd few that do turn up these days, Ken has lost his rattle. There is also a small amount of damage to his head and left arm - although this doesn't really detract from the figure itself. The paint is still very good.

h/w Reference 41
Liverpool

Excellent to near mint rare heavyweight team with only a few rubs on the shirts in the high relief areas. No breaks or glues, but one has an arm missing and one has come out of it's base (easily repaired). Some bases / lettering don't match but think this was common as Subbuteo was hand made in domestic front rooms during the early years. White h/w goalkeeper on wire which has been painted to match the team so not original. The late 60's or early 70's box with small logo is torn slightly on all four corners and has Liverpool in Dymo tape on the lid and to one end.

Modified C101 New Style Floodlights
Set A - Two Pylons

A recently modified set of near mint 1970's floodlights. The original light heads and small bulbs have been totally replaced with the much more powerful and modern 60w bulbs giving around 900% more light per pylon. Although I have configured the lights to work off two AAA type batteries via wiring from a mobile phone hands free kit, the lights can probably be used in conjunction with the official Subbuteo mains adapter kit without any problems, but this is untested. Plans and instructions will be available soon at a nominal cost to make your own.

C110 T.V. Tower

A boxed mint TV Tower with only one very small fault being that it has been hit by a stray air gun pellet. The entry and exit holes on the box are clean and do not disfigure any of the text on the packaging. The tower has taken slight collateral damage and the bottom half has been hit on the steel girder sections but doesn't affect the sturdiness at all. Both figures and all electrical equipment have survived the missile and appear to be undamaged.

SOLD

h/w Reference 49
Wolves

Extremely hard to find team on the ultra rare all gold bases that was probably only made for about a year at the end of the sixties using the classic heavyweight figure. Some wear to the knees, but all players are sound with no breaks, numbers on the backs or glues. The original box with plastic slide out tray is mint except for a sticker to one end which says Dundee and a number 196... possibly a mix up at the factory and the team got put in the wrong box? Nice violet keeper on plug style fixing.

Original Heavyweight team reference 42
Chelsea

Original heavyweights in nice condition considering their age (pre 1969) with light playwear to the shirts. There are some neat repairs to the ankles on only about 9 of the players, small handpainted numbers on the backs which could be easily rubbed off with petrol or similar if required and also numbers in biro to the bases which look quite nice. One figure has sadly lost an arm and two are probably from a different set as the bases don't quite match. The keeper is glued at the ankles and the original wire rod has been replaced with a longer rats tail file to give a better reach during play (This is the correct keeper for the set and is not overpainted) - of no major importance, but worth mentioning is that a couple of the bases rattle. The box isn't torn on one corner and there has been no taping to the others, there is a small amount of writing on the lid. The reference sticker is missing but someone has written '42' and Chelsea in various places. The inner tray is good with players names written neatly in biro and some ripping across the holes. If the replacement long rod is a problem on the goalie, I can replace him with a later green handle type if required free of charge.
