TOPIC: Dalek picture with 60s toy guns

Dalek picture with 60s toy guns 2 years, 8 months ago #1

I hope I\'m posting this in the correct forum!

I wonder if anyone can help with a research project I am working on please? I am the co-writer of dalek6388.co.uk and we are currently totally rewriting and revising the site. We are hoping to include some of the more unusual stories about the Dalek props. We have come across the attached picture and we were wondering if a kind collector had a much better copy of it please?

It includes Dalek toy guns (hence me putting the post here) which I have identified in the galleries here. We have been told it was a photo shoot circa 1965 for TV21 magazine, and originally owned by the Keystone photo agency. They were taken over by Getty but unfortunately it doesnt appear on their site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Jon

Was that out of a newspaper? If so, try looking for the agency that provided the boys for the photo shoot. You may also look for the gun the kid\'s holding, I think it shot plastic balls and may have been made by Ideal, but I can\'t be certain. It was a few years back....OK decades.

I got this version from a 70s Doctor Who book. But its very small and I need a nice big detailed version really to be able to identify the prop.

I have been told it was taken by the Keystone agency which apparently has been swallowed up by Getty, although this picture doesn\'t appear on their site.

I can identify two of the guns. The boys stood either side of the Dalek hold Dalek related guns. I have found them on a collector gallery here, and they date the picture to circa 1965. Apparently the photo was taken for TV21 comic.
