Background:

During the 1970's when Britains where not producing metal band figures;three prolific makers emerged in the English speaking world.They all made complete lines from their own masters and moulds. The best known was BLENHEIM by the Scroby's of Wales followed by Glen Taylor of TROPHY MINATURES also from Wales.The least know was a Scottish maker who named his line after himself CHARLES HALL.

Charles produced two areas of personal interest to himself from 1975 t0 1985 which were German Bands and Salvation Army Bands.In the early 1990's Hank Anton of the USA bought Halls moulds but never produced very many sets from the line. My personal collection are rare and hard to find originals made by Charles. I collected these sets during the early ninties from mainly British collectors and a few US one's. The collection is generally considered complete except for the suffrogett's series mentioned in the small pamphlet type catalogue that comes with the collection.
