The final two Bobbies on the last page are
both Italian, as is the chap on the right. The
first shape, from Drioli, has also been used
by Casa Vinicola Boccaccio. The second
one bears a Roma label. This is a second
label of Casa Vinicola Boccaccio and, again,
this shape has been used by at least one
other manufacturer (Drioli). The Amaretto
policeman is from Beinasco and appears to
be an exclusive. The last British PC we
have comes from Rynbende and is not at all
common.
Next are four ‘colourful’ Policemen.
Unfortunately I only have a black and white photo of the first Italian Policeman
(Carabinieri) from Sassano-e-Pagani. The second is the very well known Galliano
version. This is far too tall for a 50ml mini but 50ml it is. This mini has obviously been
imported into NZ as it is common in second hand shops here. The Canadian Mountie
speaks for himself. The last Policeman above
is another from Forcoll, this time an
Argentinian Policeman.
Another uncommon
figural is the New
York Policeman
from Old Store, part
of the Alpa group of
companies. I love
the Hoffman Mr.
Lucky set and the
