Products produced between 1963 and 1977 carried a 3 digit reference number prefixed by a single digit and a hyphen.

2-XXX = Kiddicraft Toys & Creative playthings

3-XXX = Kiddicraft Nursery products for babies

4-XXX = Happy Prince products - a cheaper alternative to Kiddicraft quality products

5-XXX = Kiddicraft Wooden Products

6-XXX = Kiddicraft Miniatures

Numbers were not engraved into product, but were indicated on the box and in the consumer catalogues included in every product.  Trade catalogues also carry the appropriate references.

Where there is a product in the archive we have photographed it.  Where we have no product but do have a catalogue then we have scanned the catalogue page as an image 'holder' until we get an actual product to photograph.  Where we have no product or no image then we've posted a 'WANTED' sign.  Please contact us through the 'Contact Us' link in the menu bar if you can help.

Our grateful thanks to those who have already contributed images, acknowledgements have been made in product text.

2-290 Posting Box (Post Box shape)

A really robust toy, designed to look like an English pillar box, in bright red. The seven coloured plastic shapes can only be posted through the correct holes in the lid.  When they have disappeared, the Posting Box can be opened by the child and they can be used over and over again.
