‘Ello ‘Ello Wat av we eeer then?
The cop on the beat, or traffic duty, is becoming a rarity these days, although
Policeman minis are not too rare.
There are four versions I know
about of the Nassau Royale
Bahamas Policeman. The first is
the oldest and the next, the
policeman on traffic duty, is
probably 1980’s or 90’s (or both).
Nassau Royale is now part of
Bacardi. Below we have a
Policeman from the West Indies,
this one from Bols. The Traffic
Policeman is from Somers of
Bermuda and, again, there are
several variations.
There are lots of British Bobby minis so I will
show you eight.
The only British British
Bobby I have to show you is
the glass one from Stewart’s
containing Cream of The
Barley Scotch. The same
bottle has been used by
Garnier.
The two on
the left are
from Forcoll of
Argentina.
The head is
quite common
but the full
Policeman
much less so.
