A 1940s advert for a set of fretwork tools, patterns and instructions needed to create toys such as the bus and plane illustrated – it appeared in British magazine in 1947. The sets were produced by Hobbies Ltd, Dereham, Norfolk, England, UK. Fretwork is a design that is either carved in relief on a solid background, or cut out with a fretsaw, coping saw, jigsaw or scroll saw, often using softwoods such as Balsa. From 1895 until 1960 Hobbies of Dereham supplied kits, tools, components and guidebooks to model makers – vintage nineteen-forties graphics.
