Frances144 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thank you. Yes, I saw them and others that come up for auction occasionally. I just wondered a bit about the company and who it was and where it was situated. (and if they made any knights in armour on horses).

Frances144 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Knights and horses. Or anyone and horses tbh. Made by SITAMS - I would be interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'm a little intrigued, so here is some more... The Ebay auction was dated July 2018. A little ot of date perhaps. The domain name - SITAMS.CO.UK is not currently registed. Vectis seems to be an Auction House based in Thornaby (Cleveland ?). VECTIS.CO.UK was registered through DomainMonster.Com. There are no owner names. Did a quick trawl around for toy soldiers etc. Judging by the results I found, I would guess that whoever was trading as SITAMS has probably given up in the face of some hefty Chinese competition.

George. Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 There is an auction on at eBay at present for Sitams A Gentleman In Khaki 140 Mm Figure Rare Vintage It has been running for nearly three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think SITAMS were alive and trading along time ago. The labelling and boxes look vintage (unless that's just the look). I am also surprised no one has heard of them. I might do some trawling about too. Thank you, George for the links. I am intrigued. When the weather closes in, I will put my internet terrier hat on! Will report back. George. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 There is an auction on at eBay at present for Sitams A Gentleman In Khaki 140 Mm Figure Rare Vintage It has been running for nearly three days.Saw this earlier. Item location is Wokingham and it is the only SITAMS item currently for sale on Ebay. Seller has a number of other items for sale and seems to be a dealer of sorts Would be surprised if these are the people you are looking for. NB;Nothing at all on Amazon. Unless there is a specialised outlet for this type of thing, I would guess that SITAMS is no more.. Anyone want to set up a business selling Viking Warrior models? Good little opportunity for sale to tourists (if we ever see them again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George. Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 It may well be worth having a wee look at Toy Soldier Collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Shetland Isle Toy & Model Soldiers Co was based at the Toll Clock centre a lot of years ago. The owner was married to a local but they parted company and he moved south. Frances144 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
