Non-the-less, it offers an important historical perspective in showing how BAYKO and, by association, similar toys were actually sold to the public in the middle third of last century. |

||
Retail Cabinets were certainly the norm after the war and existed before the war as well... |
||
Retail Cabinet contents varied considerably over the life of the product... |
||
In the late 1950's, and again in the 1960's, Retail Display Packs were used to sell direct to the public. |
||
Unlike MECCANO, large models as the centrepiece of retail promotions were never a key feature of BAYKO retailing, however, smaller models were used routinely often built by the retailer... |
||
There was support for BAYKO retailers in the form of Display Shelves to provide in store displays of the world's favourite construction toy... |
||
There were also a variety of Display Items made available to BAYKO retailers, at different times, to help them beautify their shops and windows - and of course sell more BAYKO... |
