Crap - you lot were all rich back then. My starting wage as a sparky apprentice was 1 .9.6 a week and I had to give the old lady a quid of that so left with 10 bob but still lived well back then so what happened ! Wages escalated in the 60's but commodities went up even more thats what.

Anyone know what those other items where.I may start a collection of gas ring burners.

You might be right, I think they also made buckets of steam and tartan paint.

Don't forget the boxes of tolerances!

Also don't forget the pipe stretchers, boxes of copper magnets, tins of elbow grease and the fog horn tuning keys.
