BAYKO in 'Toy Trader', March, 1962
This was the third feature on BAYKO to appear, during the MECCANO era, in 'Toy Trader', a leading publication of the day for the British toy trade. |
||
| The timing of this "advertising puff" is slightly odd. Clearly the intention was to communicate to the UK toy trade details of set #15 and the new range of BAYKO parts, but, in reality, these were not actually introduced for several months. |
||
 |
This item appeared in the "New to You" section. |
|
The article, which, though not exactly lengthy, spread over part of two pages, and reads as follows : - |
||
Contemporary Built
|
||
A NEW outfit has been introduced into the range of Bayko building bricks. This is No. 15, which enables houses with an entirely contemporary look to be built. One model includes a picture window, verandah and large dormer in the roof. In addition to the complete new outfit, there are a number of new parts, which may be bought separately to enlarge the scope of the other sets available.

There is also a short script underneath the photo of the BAYKO model on the first page : - |
 |
The modern appearance of this model house illustrates the improvements in the new outfit.
|
|
The script here, when taken with other items, seems to point strongly to an intention to launch set #15 earlier than the August date which eventually materialised... |
|
...this would have been the first step - letting the trade know. |
