[Jock1971] My Collection

[Mike Ratledge]

Hi Mike.
The Waddington catalogues decribe these boxes as "Flip top upright box, covered in suede flock with gold piping-available in Black, Red or Brown". These boxes were at the highest end of the waddingtons Range of boxes.

I am thinking it was made around late 60's, or was it early 70's? I might be thinking about a different deck pair, because I remember the box as opposed to the decks themselves. I know that you have the factory sheets/advertising graphics. We just don't see things like that, so you will always be the authoritative source for dating things like these!

Thanks again, always great to see what's up next in your collection, Jase.
