2 Rare Fragments added to Royale Gallery
![]() |
Detail from 'Football Fight' |
I have added two rare fragments of storyettes starring Brian Morris and Tibor Urgay which I have dubbed 'Bike Trio' and 'Football Fight' in the absence of definitive information about them. Linkages via the models' index pages have been given an overhaul.

Royale & Hussar Props - Stools
Royale used two different stools with round seats, they can be seen together in 'The Stolen Motorcycle'. The slightly taller one had plain legs, the other had legs with turned, ribbed decoration marking off thirds of the length. Click on the Prop - Stool label at this post in the gallery to see other sets that used them.
