Meccano Toltoys hybrid

[spoons]

An interesting cardback came to light on Facebook yesterday. A Clipper front with Meccano sticker - rare but nothing wrong with that, but it has a Toltoys back

If anyone has a Clipper die cast do check the back. This one has a few red flags. Peeling litho and could be an old repair by someone with a collection of rare backs. The way the punches line up and the lack of premium paid for it I'm leaning towards believing it's legit.

I saw this today, really interesting the way the argument flopped back and forth on if it was or wasn't a repo.
Without another one I suppose you've got to say repo?

I really don't know Nick, definitely can't say it's a legit variation with so much doubt, but won't say fake either.

Very much on the fence

Very interesting Andy, thanks for posting this. As you say cool when new stuff comes up. Even if not sure if it's fake or not.
