Lee King’s collection seems to have a machine for every occassion.

Richly decorated in gold leaf, the hand-painted robin and holly of his Bradbury Family S No.1 adds a festive air to what must have been a very special Christmas present for someone.

Below is a late 19th. century Christmas card from Pfaff in Germany, whose 150th. anniversary issue is celebrated overleaf by Les Walsh, himself a keen collector of the marque.
