    No wonder I didn't remember the mammoth (as being a 9DR one); I think it was part of an independent lot of animals, maybe connected with our French grandparents somehow...? If I'm right, it's made in an unbendable plastic, contrary to the English ones, which renders them virtually unbreakable.

    I like the picture of the elephant and of the lion!

    You've skipped n°5 and as a result we don't have the picture of the fearsome CROCODILE!!

    Well, I do believe that mammoth was part of the 9DR animal lot. Let's check with the cousins, shall we?


    As for n°5, I'll post it this evening, don't worry. Now i have no doubt about that one.

    Perhaps the mammoth was made of that famous bakélite...

    There you are!


    By the way, do you remember the crocodile whose jaw you could open? it had some sort of a lever that you would press so that the lower jaw would open or close. Grandma had bought it after the one you've seen. I wonder what has become of it...

    Yes, I remember it, and I think someone alludes to it in the comments somewhere... It was a bigger version than the rather flat and boring one represented here, and it had a swerving tail.

    definitely don't remember the mammoth. It looks a little cartoony? The croc did have a hinged jaw, don't know about a swerving tail though. Do you remember all the coloured bricks at 9DR which were kept in a yellow plastic basket?

    When I say a swerving tail, I don't mean articulated, just not a straight tail like the smaller crocodile! Bricks? I suppose I do, yes, but what were they for? Just piling up?

    My memory has now ascertained that the mammoth belonged to a set of prehistoric creatures which we got from our French grandparents.

    Yes these were just small children's building blocks of varying sizes. Most of them were light blue but some were red and others yellow though not many.. do you remember that there was a sqeaky plastic lamb? It was quite big for a small child's hand to hold. It's ears were pointed too.

    Mmm.. I'm afraid all this has gone down the memory hole... sigh!

    Ha ha shame! By the way I'm still trying to get the dominoes pic to you - I have to access a pc to upload the photos from vicki' s tablet to my e-mail. My kindle can only do so much!  In the meantime I go to bed trying to recollect myself walking through 9 & 7 DR and remembering what I can see. Fond, fond memories!

    Did the building blocks fit into one another? Or is this a toy that my kids used to have???
