Corgi Small Scale
|
This section is to showcase the small scale Corgis beginning with the Husky range as made by Corgi and sold in Woolworths stores from 1964 to 1969 in the UK, outside the UK they were available in a range of stores. In 1970 they were renamed Corgi Juniors and made more widely available. The range stayed quite close to the old Husky range right through to 1983; eventually getting an identity of their own. Juniors have been used over and over again for corporate promotions and petrol give always so the variations in the range tend to be enormous, this part of the collection could grow fast as these tend to be cheap! Finally we have the Corgi Rockets made in 1970 and 1971 to compete head-on with Mattel's Hot Wheels, these on the other hand are rare and expensive. Small scale Corgis continue to be made and there are some of the modern ones here too.
My reference for cataloguing my collection has been Bill Manzke's book 'Corgi Juniors and Husky Models' without which this would never have been possible. I cannot recommend his book enough.
