FARM ITEMS

- Farm Items -

The above pictures are from a unique two bag header card set made in the 1980s. One bag hold the plastic fence and animals while the other bag has the heavy card stock barn.

NONE - Lot of Tim-Mee farm items made at the factory in Germany, early 1950s.

The farm figures are about 45-50mm in size. The woman with the hoe and the farmer forking hay seem to be much more common than the other poses and it is possible the scarecrow and the other three figures were deleted from production at an earlier time.

3.00 TM29A Farmer forking hay; 1 redbrown, 8 yellow, 12 reds, 1 white, 3 tan/butterscotchs,(1.00 split handle 1 yellow).

4.00 TM29B Farmer w/ pitchfork and scythe; 1 redbrown, 4 butterscotch/tans, 6 reds.

6.00 TM29F Scarecrow; 1 red, 1 black.

Large 40/45mm Cows and Horses

Certainly Processed Plastic made new versions of these poses but we find it hard to tell the difference between the older Tim-Mee and new PPCo versions.

2.00 Cow, head up; 14 black, 7 redbrown, 4 white.

2.00 Cow, head down; 4 redbrown, 9 white, 8 cream, 10 black, 1 grayish white, 3 butterscotch.

Tim-Mee farm animals were put not only in the farm bags but several of the western sets as well to increase the piece count. We have seen the tan/butterscotch and redbrown animals in a variety of western bagged sets. These animals came in perhaps several molds that may have also contained the farmers and tools. Tim-Mee apparently made more than one of some of the poses as different sizes exist.

PROCESSED PLASTIC FARM ITEMS

After the Processed Plastic takeover of Tim-Mee in 1964 (official Jan 1, 1965). In 1971 they made new farm animals which were sold under their own Processed Plastic name as well as the Tim-Mee name they continued to use.

They made some very small animals which were quickly discontinued (rabbit, kitten, small fowl & piglet without base). It is probable all 12 animals seen above were made in one mold. They were sold with the new PPCO medium size animals without bases (dog, sheep, goat & pig) as well as the tools and new farmer & farm woman. Probably due to their small size the kitten, rabbit, chicken and fowl were eliminated.

Then they put the small fowl on one base which was eliminated soon as well. The piglets were given bases. They also made a larger chicken and rooster on one base that was then often cut apart by the buyer. The Collie dog, Goat, Pig and Sheep were remade with bases and bagged sets may contain examples of medium animals with and without bases. By =the mid 70s the hand tools, animals with out bases and all small animals had been eliminated and sets only contained the larger dual fowl, dog, pig, sheep & goat. The humans also were eliminated eventually as well

Processed Plastic also made a large 70mm tractor. Both tractors were made and sold as bin toys in the early 1960s before the take over of Tim-Mee. The small tractor was then added to Tim-Mee farm bags for awhile. The wagon may go with the tractor but both pieces have a "hole" connector so some type of pin or other device would be needed to connect the pieces together.

DOGS - ---

Tim-Mee made a nice series of 12 dogs sold on blister cards in 1965. The German Shepherd "police dog" is a close mirror image to their standard German Shepherd that can be found in many western and farm bagged sets. They also wholesaled the dogs to metal vehicle maker NYLINT who put them in their kennel trucks (seen in Sears & Montgomery Wards catalogs circa 1963-66). Slightly smaller copies were made in Hong Kong.

Dogs were made in many colors including; tan, butterscotch, redbrown, black, gray, white, cream and more. We will try to supply requested colors but may not be able to do so.
