God I remember these!
Metal covered miniature picture folders. that were seaside key-ring souvenirs. I had a few as a nipper and loved how the clasp popped open and shut on those metal book covers. I can't recall which pictures I had but I imagine it was Blackpool, Ilfracombe, Great Yarmouth and places like that. Maybe even Butlins itself. The one pictured looks like London and is one I borrowed from the net.
Did you have any of these readers?
Yeah! I had one for Florence!
ReplyDeleteWell I remember that locking action, all lost in the mists of time now!
Wow! Florence! Always wanted to go there Looey. Still do. My Sister's been. We are of Italian heritage and it was a family name so its a draw. I wonder where these little metal books end up?
DeleteThere were tiny paper jokebooks inside gumball capsules too, usually with a really naff cross and chain too!
ReplyDeleteDon't remember them Wote. They sound great. Pictures?
