Would your Mum Like A Charlie's Angels Annual

With Mothers Day just around the corner , the question is would your Mum like a Charlie's Angels Annual?  I know i would, I saved my chocolate every week all ready to settle down to watch an episode. We have a large selection of retro television and pop music Annuals in stock, but this would be my pick. (Unless there was a Cagney and Lacey one ) . 

SMURFING

I spent all afternoon labelling a lovely big delivery of vintage smurfs. It is one of my favourite jobs , it brings out the inner geek. We have quite a collection going in the smurfland cabinet now. The latest rarities are the apple smurf and brainy referee.

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.

Daft Cars

We sell the Top Gear Book Daft Cars, primarily because my Dad had the car on the front of the book when i was a kid, The Amphicar.

This was in the early 80's when they were already a bit of a rarity.

If I remember rightly there were only 7 working ones in the U.K.

It is easy to see why, Dad was always working on it and after every trip in it, it needed to be worked on again!

It always felt like it was sinking when it was going along in the water, and it actually did a couple of times . You also needed an enormous 4X4 to yank it back out of the water, which is not ideal.

For all of its faults it was great fun and exciting to go out in , not least because none of us including my dad could swim.

It certainly drew a crowd, though because it really did look like a triumph herald that had accidentally driven into the water and was somehow managing to keep going!
