Noble Miniatures, a US company, announces the purchase of Hallmark Miniatures. Hallmark, famous for its Figurehead 1:6000 line of WW I, WW II and modern ships, as well as its CAP Aero 1:1250 scale aircraft, Coastal Forces 1:1250 scale ships, Main Force 1:300 scale infantry and League of Augsberg 15mm troops and equipment, has operated for well over a decade, and customers have come to count on the quality of their products. Noble will both manufacture and package the miniatures. For collectors of Hallmark’s naval figures, maintenance of quality is top priority. Noted sculptor Andy Rawlings will continue in his design capacity, and already new pieces are being added to the line. 1:1250 scale HDML, Fairmile C, Fairmile D, MTB/MGB, Fairmile B, Fairmile B ASR, and Fairmile B Ambulance have all been put into production and will be ready for purchase by the end of September, 2002. It is Noble Miniature’s policy that if a customer is not happy with the quality of a purchased model, that they may receive a replacement at no charge. Noble Miniatures, a miniatures foundry in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, will produce not only the Hallmark lines, but also the Perrin Miniatures lines, well-known for their 10mm World War II armor, American Civil War figures and several other lines. In addition, Noble Miniatures will produce other lines under contract, such as the Sovereign Stone 28mm Fantasy Line for Sovereign Press and 28mm Battle Cattle (Moo-Cows with guns). Don Perrin, President of Noble Miniatures, said, “Mr. Royen, the former owner of Hallmark Miniatures, spent two weeks with us, ensuring that our quality was to his standards. He went home satisfied that we will maintain his high level of craftsmanship.” Customers should not worry that Hallmark or Perrin Miniatures lines will be harder to acquire.
