The Missus took me to a large emporium in Goldthorpe yesterday.
Cabinets and corners rammed with vintage tackle.
Here's a few glimpses of what was on offer. I picked up two inexpensive books. See anything you like? Is there one of these types of emporiums near you?

Chap Mei GodZilla
3 Dimensional Man? Poster
Revenge of Frankenstein Poster in French
Cheap annuals: Daktari etc
Lots of Circus posters
Alice in Wonderland
It really is a big place. This is just one side on one floor!
Green Hornet annual
Loads of die-casts. Quite dear.
Old hand-held games
Modern Action Man. Way too dear.
Airfix and Atlantic - is that pricey? I don't know.
Not one near me but there is one like that in Southport which I go to when I can.
ReplyDeleteNothing in Chester Kev?
DeleteSome antique centres a moderate drive away, but no emporia!
DeleteI'm amazed.
DeleteOooh nice. I'd probably spend too much there! Annuals - stick 'em in the trolley. Diecasts - theres some nice stuff, have to have a good look at them, but the Dinky 104 SPV is almost certainly going to join the annuals.The Dinky UFO interceptor seems pricey, but it seems to be the rare black-nose red leg version, so put that in the trolley too.
ReplyDeleteI think my wallet would end up empty!
ha ha, I hadn't noticed the UFO rare colours! There were 2 SPV's as well!
DeleteThe 3rd Dimension film poster is for House of Wax (1953), but the title is at the bottom of the poster.
ReplyDeleteLots of great looking die-casts I would be interested in, but not at silly prices. Those Airfix and Atlantis figure sets from the 1970s, at 20 to 30 pounds each, ouch.
Ah, House of Wax eh, Paul. Good film that. Its the forst time I can recall seeing Atlantic figures like this.
