PRODUCTS OF THE DAY

One of our favourites in the whole shop has got to be the 1980s play food . I love a bit of old packaging and advertising. There are some old teatime favourites here, including beans and burger bites which I would like to think is no longer available!



My love of play food extends to the little marmite jar keyring, designed to hold up to 10 £1.00 coins.

PRODUCT OF THE DAY- View Master

View-master

The red 1970s view-master is definitely the most popular. It is a firm favourite for  looking at all of the 70s and 80s television classic reels. Prices vary depending on condition for the actual viewmaster. Reels start at £1.00, so you can get a bit of a collection going without spending too much.

We also stock earlier brown bakelite viewmasters and older collectable reels mostly of European scenes again these start at £1.00. 

 Packs of three reels showing scenes from television or films of the 1970s and 1980s are becoming more and more collectable. We have a large selection in stock at the moment, including these gems. Dangermouse, Chips and Tiswas.
