Not sure if I've blogged this before. Its in my Ebay auction photo's archive from last year.
Its an old JR21 Thunderbird 2 cardboard carton.
2 dozen Thunderbird 2's went in here. That's 24 fabulous boxed toys.
One of them may have been yours!
I wonder what the written numbers and letters mean?
Its interesting that JR 21 Toys is also abbreviated as JRT.
I've never seen that before.
Have you any JR21 or Century 21 Toys cartons, crates, paperwork or shop displays?
Just to think that all those Supermarionation beauties were sitting in there at one time - wow. I had a similar experience back in the late 1960s. At a convenience store in Southport, CT, I stumbled upon a stack of Paramount/Midori Stingray kits, both open for display, plus a full carton of them unopened. If I had the foresight (and the cash), I could have bought that whole carton, and saved for my college education!
ReplyDeleteBlimey Zigg, you have a fab memory! I can hardly remember last week! Yes, if only we had bought things we have all let slip through our fingers. Still, you were a kid so you can let yourself off! By the way, Southport is also a town here in England, on the Lancashire coast and is the home of Dan Dare. You probably knew this already!
