MEAGRE PICKINS

 Slim pickins today in the charity shops. Came home with a cheap bag of dolls.

Things I passed up on:

Bigtrak


Picture of Matchbox cars


20,000 Leagues Under the Sea hardback - I used to collect Jules Verne books.


Thunderbirds curtains


Cars


Vintage art and fluffy bathroom stool


Old games and toys


More stuff including movies just for PS4's - not seen them before.


Retro piano


Sticklebricks - I adored them as a kid!


Denby Arabesque set - we bought these for our nephew.


Anything you like?

  2. I like the 20,000 Leagues book, but that Nautilus is a bit too dull and conventional looking for me

  3. Love the Denbyware. We have the very same set as both my parents used to work for the company from the 1960’s till they both retired in the late 1990’s and 00’s. Used to have lots of fun visiting the factory as a lad in the 70’s
