Nice!
You`ll have to buy some new shirts to go with them.

It's amazing to realize what items can still be found out there in the wild!
I have never seen a Stratton box like that before...

Beautiful display items Bob, is that a full set? (and is there any chance of seeing you modelling a pair of the cufflinks?)

Yes, it's the full set. I've been looking for the Rolls & Riley for years. I have the others, but with different domes on some.

Note the laurel leaves.
I also have some just as cuff link sets.
I don't think I have a shirt to wear them on. I'm not known for my sartorial elegance as those that have met me will know!

Hi Bob, I can lend you one of my shirts I out grew one last week while on holiday. Have you any information as to where the models had been stored Pete.

I used to deal with "The Time Machine" in pre internet days when you used to send off for mailing lists from traders.

It is very hard to find just one of these 'Giftware' models, so to find a boxed set is pretty amazing and I would imagine Bob is in Matchbox Heaven right now...!
