DINKY BOOKLET.

The pocket catalogues were marketed as a 'Booklet' during the late 1960's, in particular the one shown below from 1967 and can be found marketed as such in an advert placed by Meccano in the 'Meccano Magazine'.

I have not checked the models against the catalogue, but whoever set this up before printing, also had not checked a catalogue...models at No.7 and No.8 are incorrectly captioned... :!:

I guess mid-50's,

I would have to say 1962 because of the Austin Healey Sprite and the MGB featured in that ad Ghosty. Please don't forget that odd looking 'Thunderbird Morris' at #6 also. It is a 1958-1960 body style from Ford U.S.A. The printers were definitely not Car Guys at all if these errors slipped through and were published in magazines. kwakers
