BAYKO in MALAYSIA
or
SINGAPORE and the Federation of MALAYA

I currently have two BAYKO documents from the Malaysian Market, or the Federation of Singapore and Malaya as it was known at the time : -
 
1953 - SINGAPORE and the Federation of MALAYA Price List
A slightly care worn copy of the parts price list for Singapore and the Federation of Malaya
A slightly care worn copy of the sets price list for Singapore and the Federation of Malaya
The above document is the standard UK price list of the same date with local prices and the address of the local importer.
 
May, 1962 - MECCANO General Products Price List
Front page of 1962 Malaya and Singapore MECCANO general products price list
This document, date-coded May, 1962, is an 8-page document created by folding two sheets of paper and stapling them together.
The contents are market dependant, but the basic format stood MECCANO in good stead over several years, both domestically and across the world.
The BAYKO entry, as for most of the early MECCANO era, was to be found on the front page, in this case at the bottom.
Click anywhere on the image [left] to view a larger image of the BAYKO section.
It's nice to have this evidence of continuity of supply to Malaya and Singapore - if BAYKO wasn't being supplied, printing the prices in the local dollars would seem to be a bit of a luxury!
An interesting detail is that set #14C and set #15 are both included in the price list, though they weren't launched in the U.K. until August 1962.
