ToCo Original Prints

I’ve acquired over 1600 original ToCo prints from a reputable source. I have both popular and some less frequently seen models. If you’re a Nicola Taylor fan, then your luck is in. I’ll feature a few of them in the blog to mix things up a bit. 

All of them will be available for sale on the BrazenBooks site over the coming weeks. Link To Sales Pictures.

Six pictures below to kick things off. Angela Bond, Annette French, Heather Chaffey, Joanna Young, Julie Marsden, Valerie Peters.

Jane Rennie - Scanned Prints Set 2 

Four more scanned prints of Jane Rennie, all taken from the same sitting. She looks absolutely stunning, showing off her dark stockings and white underwear. I estimate that Jane would be around 80 years old now, and about 19 or 20 when these pictures were taken.

Jane Rennie - Scanned Prints Set 1

Four nice pictures of Jane Rennie scanned from original ToCo prints. 

Jane was always dressed to impress, with her hair always up and she was partial to a frilly underskirt. She was a real girly girl, in the best way possible. These pictures show her in a white, long cotton dress, but what really caught my eye was the poodle motif on her left breast pocket. Any suggestions on the poodle?

Jingle Bells

Should have really got this one up nearer to Christmas. Great pictures of Nicola tobogganing in her stockings and suspenders. I am sure any teenage boys’ delight certainly brings another dimension to tobogganing. Nothing like ToCo and there never will be, I am sure.

The tinkling sound of sleigh-bells on a lovely crisp night sound heavenly when heard from the warm comfort of a fireside where you're thawing out your frozen tootsies.

Jingle bells speak of such nights, of snow and slides and toboggans and muffled-up men selling hot chestnuts. In the pure light of a snowy day, you can see for yourself it's not all bells and chestnuts for NICOLA TAYLOR. Toboggans are apt to cannon off tree stumps and deposit you in snow drifts. It's a lot of fun only if you can keep all your discs in place.

Weighs and Means

When a girl steps onto a pair of scales and finds out she's half an ounce over the imperishable odds, it's enough to send her off into a swoon for a week. Antonie Merly means to keep half an ounce under!

All Out In Front

Rosa, as most of us know, did a lot more than just Spick and Span and frequently appears in all manner of magazines. These scans are from two prints that I have, but I have no idea of their origins.

Nursey Nurse

Two interesting prints of what looks like nurse dress-up fun. I would guess they are from the 1960s, but I have no information on them.

Mystery Models and Random Prints

Yesterday, I was digging through a large box of mixed prints that I have acquired over the years, often in small lots as part of other collections. For the most part, I have no idea of their original origins. These prints are mostly originals from the 1960s and '70s. Sadly, most can't be shown on this site, but there are still quite a few that I can display. Therefore, I've decided to spend a couple of months showcasing some of them on the blog.

The others, I may show on the Brazen blog, which I am determined to update with more regular posts. All prints are up for sale and will gradually be made available under the relevant category on the BrazenBooks site. 

To kick us off, here's a nice original small print from the 1960s that would have been sold as part of a small set. All the others I have featuring this girl are slightly more revealing. 

What I would like to say is that most of these are of unnamed models. If you recognise anybody and can add a name, please add it to the comments or email me via the contact page.

Men Only - Joan Paul

I spotted this the other day while listing some books for sale: Joan Paul in the December 1966 issue of Men Only, with the accompanying mumbo jumbo below.

She Wants To Crack The Male Barrier

“Doesn’t every girl want to marry a millionaire?”
Joan Paul had a look that contained the right balance of incredulity and impishness as she put this question.
She was talking about careers at the time. Just to suggest that she was half-joking, Joan added: “Anyway, there are not many young good-looking one available.”

This 22-year-old maid of Kent has lived and worked in London as a secretary for the past year. She has also been a croupier at a London club.
Joan wants to travel and sees her best chance by getting a job as a croupier abroad. But on the Continent, it was pointed out, croupiers are usually men.
"Then I'll just have to break through the male barrier," she retorted.
When Joan talks of travel she has sunny countries in mind. She loves the sun, music-classical and pop-and modern dancing.
Her pet hates? The English weather and tapioca pudding.
