My New Bran Bowl

My meagre but fun catch at the car boot, my first trip out in a week.

LtoR. Castle Bran bowl. Dr.Who mag free gift 2009. Silver ironing board cover. Modern Action Man.


The Bran bowl from Dracula's castle in Romania was a no brainer - or should that be branner! I was fascinated by comic ads for vials of Bran soil when I was a kid and now I have at least a bowl. You can guess what's going it in! And no, not bran!

Do you remember Dracula's soil in bottles?


The silver cover is for a future action man outfit. Can you guess?

The modern Action man will be my deep sea diver when I'm done. Those modern hands are WAY too big!

I also saw this Route 66 picture. What is that car? Anyone?


What are you up to today?

  1. The car is a Chevrolet Camaro, 1968 I believe.

    1. I think it's a 1967 model with the round side lights.

    2. Right, there was a time I would have known that off the top of my head but I am afraid I am a bit rusty.

    3. The vent windows, not visible, would be the biggest difference.

  2. How did you spot that bowl? Amazing. The freebie Daleks are great, I've got a few of them.

    1. The bowl was in a charity shop across the road from the car boot. I saw Bran and it was in my hand!

    1. Hi Anon, It was often a full page ad in Warren's publications in the Sixties and Seventies. I've added an online image I found to the post.
