               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
