.... Its a box full of tea, cigarette (including Mickey's Sweet Cigarettes) and ice lollie cards dating from at least 1962...
Subjects include (I'll wake you when I've finished!)
Pets, Freshwater Fish, Wild Animals, Asian Wildlife, Dogs, Bird Portraits, Tropical Birds, British Wildlife, Australia, British Costume, History of the Motor Car, The story of the Locomotive, HMS 1902-1962, Ships of the British Navy, African Wildlife and Wild Flowers.
Of moderately more interest to any Moonbasers still awake, there are Wings across the World, Wings of Speed, A history of British Military Aircraft and some of those Medal cards that used to come with Tommy Gun Soldier figures which could be redeemed much like Action Man's Stars...
Sadly the only spacey stuff in the entire box was three examples from Walls and Lyons Maid Ice lollies.
Ah well, some of my childhood was interesting!
Sweet dreams, Moonbasers!
Cheers,
Looey,

No Ice Maidens at all then?
ReplyDeleteI think they all sound interesting. Especially the planes, locomotives, motor car, and Royal Navy sets. There will certainly be people interested in the animal, bird, and fish cards. Hang on to them all, that was a great find.
ReplyDeleteLike you Looey, these wouldn't be for me.
ReplyDeleteBut Paul's right too. For some, these would be a real find. I'm sure they're highly collectable.
A lovely time capsule Looey from your Parents. So neatly done as well. Love it.
