Thomas Salter spy kit

[branny]

Anybody remember this? It came as a fake cardboard briefcase with the usual spy bits like revolver, silencer, grenade, finger print kit, passport, binoculars, decoding wheel. It also had inserts with pictures of folded clothing inside to conceal the spy gadgets. Can't find any mention of it when i google. This was one of my favourite toys as a kid. Very James Bond.

No, but the name does ring a bell.

The one in my life as a kid (it was actually my cousin's: he had a lot of cool toys) was this one:
Secret Sam.

Re: Thomas Salter spy kit

Spent HOURS in a toyshop as a child, attempting to spend some Xmas cash.. Looked at Little Big Men, Havoc, Airfix, Action Man.. but just could not make a choice.
I finally came away (much to my Mother's displeasure) with the Thomas Salter Spy Kit.
She wasn't annoyed at the hours wasted picking the toy, but the contents of the box, which was pretty poor, but dressed up nicely.
I think it was the cardboard Briefcase that finally sold it to me.. the rest of the contents were a cheap gun & silencer, and more cardboard.
I seem to recall the price was way more than the sum of the parts. The little camera & binoculars were super cheapo, and the fingerprint kit was little more than talcum powder.
Once I got it home, the disapointment soon set in.

Saw one a few years ago at a bootsale, but it was water damaged

Can you identify any of the other parts, branny?
I can see the fake money,passport, code breaker, ID card, magnifying glass, fingerprint set, gun, binos, and a few I can't remember

My brother had a Thomas Salter Fingerprint kit, which might still be in his old wardrobe.

A few year later I got a Galt Detecive Set with similar contents.

I also owned the spy kit when I was living in England. I have been looking for it for years. Finally!

Re: Thomas Salter spy kit

I remember something similar when I was a kid only it was made by Blue Box Toys. It's another one of those toys that I wanted but never got -- I'm still looking for one.

Yes i had one of them you had a button on the outside of the case which let you shoot the gun while still inside the case, if you look in the picture you can see that there is a channel that lets the gun fire with the case closed.
