These are salesman's samples saved by a purchasing agent of our largest department store of yore, Stockmann. They all come fully equipped with S.Y.M "Arabian" colour pencils and other useful items.
The set of four pencil cases has similar space motif but different locking mechanisms. Some of them still have salesman's tags on them.
The pencil case with an interesting curved form has a space ship on a mission on one side, a Jumbo Jet about to take off on the other. This one is marked S.Y.M on the inside, which I why I assume they all are by the same maker providing the contents as well. The patent number on this one is 749086. Could S.Y.M be a British (HK) company?
Anyone else got anything like these?

Then something domestic. The translucent rocket money boxes are by a Finnish company Prevex, presumably from early Seventies.
You got anything like this?
Arto
All beautiful, especially the curved one. The Money Box on a stand is also unusual.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive vintage collection, Arto... and in amazing condition. I especially love the colourful and imaginative art work. Really sums up the 60s/70s for me. Nice to see them here :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stuff, the pencil cases are lavish with some fine space artwork. For me though, the moneyboxes are the show stealers, very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous find Arto. Really gorgeous items.
