I remember buying one of these modern printed copy ephemera sets from Pastimes.
The vintage copy catalogues and papers were really ace.
Not the kind of thing you light your bonfire with!
My favourite had to be the Ellisdons mail-order catalogue. I ordered ordering from them in the early Seventies. Truly happy times. I still dream of buying from them.
I've noticed on Etsy the sets been upgraded to include a box of UK coins from 1967.
Flip, I do recall all those,be specially the Threepenny bit! Do you remember these readers?
Interesting that the florin is missing? Worth two shillings, then morphed into 10p upon decimalisation.
ReplyDeleteThe coin was introduced as a precursor for introducing decimal coinage system back in Victorian times.
