The wonderful first edition of ‘The Matchstick Nibbler’ from the Fourteen Balls Toy Company are now finished.
This is a favourite piece from our collection made by Paul Spooner piece in 1982. It’s full title is ‘How to Make a Model Goat from Odds and Ends No: 15’ – Nibbling Matchsticks to produce curved horns.
The man nibbles away at his tasty snack of matches (sometimes known as ‘lucifers’) as he eats two devil-like horns appear from the top of his head by means of the bellows action. When the cranking stops the horns slowly recede back into his head. Everyone who has been very patiently waiting for theirs will receive them this week by Express Courier.
Although these were available as special commission only, we actually have a spare one still available – so click here if you are interested in buying it (Sold!).
