Britains Ltd. Set List (1893-1966)

 

Britains Postwar Sets(numbers 1920- 2190)

©Copyright 2008 Geoffrey Duin

Notes:

1. Generally, postwar until 1959 single row cavalry boxes contained 5 figures, while single row infantry boxes contained 8 figures. In 1960 remaining cataloged sets were reduced by one figure.
2.
9000 numbering system for 1962-66 period is listed in parentheses next to pre-1962 catalog numbers

This is a work in progress and am making no claims that this is a definitive list so suggestions, corrections, additions are welcome!(email me here). There is a link to my sources at the end of this list.

Many thanks to Vectis Auctions Ltd for permission to use photos from their substantial past auction photo archive for this list(sets and set figures already appearing in photos on my site do not have a photo link).
