| Description: | "TOYS FOR HOME AND ABROAD". Possibly Lines Brothers toy factory in Merton, London. Various shots of women workers making toys in a factory. Commentator says "Toys for export mean money to pay for much-needed imports and at last there are some left for our own shops". One woman forces some straw into a large stuffed dog toy. She is wearing a turban. Nice shots of women at benches fitting wheels to toy cars and hooks to trains. A man in a factory coat looks at a tray of small wooden toys. C/U of one of the toys - it's one of those jointed animals mounted on a base that collapses when you press the base in. Lead soldiers are made and painted by hand. They are then carded and packed into boxes for export. | |
