Colonial, Western and Pioneer Items

Ideal made a series of header card (later blister card) small playsets. Each set would have a soft plastic gate and two tin litho walls. A few accessories were in the same mold as each gate and were included in the header card bags. Later blister cards no longer had the accessories. Eight different sets were made using five different gates; Knight, Alamo, Dodge City, Maine Base & generic palisade fort. The generic palisade fort came with a plug in sign to denote the set; Valley Forge, Fort Pitt, Fort Laramie or Fort Yukon. In later sets the plug in holes were filled and no sign came with the sets. The knight set got the knight figures, the Marine base set got a mix of Marines and sailors, Fort Yukon got the mounties and Eskimos while the other four sets got a mix of the 60mm red and blue colonial figures and red and yellow 54mm cowboys and Indians.

This accessory sprue was made in the same mold as the Frontier Fort Gate and included in header card sets. When Ideal switched to blister cards the accessories were no longer included either to cut costs or due to lack of space.

NONE IN STOCK - Fort Cheyenne carryall playset.

Perhaps in response to the Marx tin "Carryall" concept Ideal made a vinyl Fort Cheyenne fold open carryall. The 45mm figures were made in Hong Kong and were not original Ideal poses but rather 45mm copies of various British company figures. The Indians are copies of; Crescent, Lone Star and Britians poses, while the foot cavalry are copies of Britains Herald figures and the mounted cavalry copies of Timpo poses. The mounted cavalry figures were made in gray rather than blue for some reason. The mounted Indians were multi color and swivel at the waist. Unlike Marx who had specific figure sets Ideal seems to have simply used a total count so sets probably do not have all the poses. We think each set should have 8 each cavlary and mounted Indians + 16 assorted horses. Also 8-10 each foot soldiers and Indians. We have seen red saddles and foot Indians may be red or brown.

COMIC FIGURES

David Schafer was kind enough to send us the pictures below. Like Marx ans Auburn ideal climbed aboard the Disney band wagon and produced a set of eight comic figures. All eight could be found with the the pirate ship (same ship as sold with pirates using different colors) in yellow and white. Half sets of four figures in red and blue were sold with the raft. These are not easy to find.
