Hi..never seen another one ..bought in the early 80s .Years later I was told paper weights with advertising on were coming on to the market about this time so I lost my confidence with it, took it out of my collection ...Its buried away somewhere .I can put it on if it would help prove good or bad (if I can find it) |

Don't worry Ken, that change dish is genuine. I've just bought one the same, except mine's got a nasty chip in it. It came from a collector who'd had it since the early 70's.
Here's my poor contribution to the thread. |

I've always thought that the "If I were King" showcard is an absolute pearler, closely followed by the 2 5 Boys in the shop window cards. Actually it's probably a toss up. I'm very envious FP. Love them all tbh. |

Hi Planesman.. If you look closely three corners are damaged Quite a while ago I drove to Nairn Scotland,as you do !! ..took a walk down to the shore saw a souvenir shop popped in saw this card for £3 (thats how long ago). Also the showcard with the children standing in front, only £2 this one but damaged but I bought it (sold at Wath). It seems a few months before it was a corner sweet and tobacconist shop it closed and a new new owner found these with other bits in the cellar There had been a much better version of the children but some tourist from Holland nabbed that a few weeks earlier the rotters |
