Thomas Salter were a great toy company. In the late Sixties I loved their Adventurer set with its compass and water bottle.
In the late 70's they released a toy I would have enjoyed in the Sixties, the 1979 Starcruiser Mission Kit. The photo box art they used worked really well I think, a strategy they deployed on their 1979 catalogue.
Here's their Puzzle Pack.
and the interesting-looking Fun Optics.
...... the Chemistry set [everybody seemed to have one back then!]
and the fabtastic looking Space Explorer Kit!
How I would have liked that on Christmas Morning!
You too?
I had the optics set and enjoyed mucking about with it.
ReplyDeleteI remember using the lenses to burn holes in paper on sunny days.
Ha ha, field work! Iike it Mish! Proper educational pursuits!
DeleteNever seen this brand before, I agree, the box graphics are quite gripping! SFZ
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree SF.
DeleteGot the Starcruiser Mission Kit but never seen the contents, as it is still sealed! The box is prominently on display at Helsinki Base, a delight of every day.
ReplyDeleteSealed!?"*! Oh Lordy. You have the best stuff at Helsinki Base Arto!
