BAYKO Import Agents

Thanks to Geof Lilleker for help with some of this info.
 
BAYKO was exported via agents to at least fourteen countries post-war.
Games and Toys advert, May 1939
While I can't prove that BAYKO was exported pre-war, the advert [right] printed in 'Games and Toys' in May 1939, shows clear intent, even if the timing could have been better!
If you've got info on pre-war exports I'd love to hear from you...
There is also a suggestion that BAYKO may have been available in other areas - British influenced areas of East Africa for example.
I know BAYKO was also sold in Egypt, but it is possible that this, and many other export markets/retailers were serviced direct from Liverpool.
 
The Canadian importer is interesting when you consider the 1959 MECCANO take-over!
