US based novelty jobber/importer - online and mail-order - shipping HK/China production to the US, full inventory is somewhere between a 1960’s joke shop and a modern ‘Party’ store, with a few bits of home ware, religious iconography, tourist trinket and general novelty thrown on to the pile of ‘executive toys’, also operated with a physical shop under the Archie Mcfee title, from whence came the mail-order catalogue in the early 1990's.

Notes

The ex-Giant sets (header-carded bottle bags) appeared first in 1993’ish with the ‘Roman’ knights, and the earlier numbered Mongols appeared later in ‘95/96. Seem to be ex-1970’s or 1980’s stock, from a warehouse find, vintage versions were already extatant, the Archie McPhee/Accoutrements version have a MADE IN CHINA sticker over the original, printed MADE IN HONG KONG message.
