On a different matter, is that a small size Main Line Flake I can see in the background? Never seen one so any chance of a close up?

The Mainline is a dummy display packet of small proportions.
Good spotting Mark.

Hi Relics, yes that coffee is mine in the collection. I've also got that china tea you posted.
Would be interesting to know if the enquirer is just after history or is looking for items from the companies ? Lets hope she looks at the Forum.
