Pond and Aquarium 1st Series 1950
Pond and Aquarium 1st Series 1950 25 - This set was printed shortly after the war and kept ready to be released at a moment’s notice if a rival manufacturer suddenly started producing cards, but these were never actually issued. The superb artwork compliments the amazingly comprehensive texts which tells us everything we need to succeed from how to construct a pond or what type of tank you need for tropical fish to types of fish, diseases, insects and plants. A second series on the same subject was also produced around the same time. The detail in these pictures is amazing, particularly the Water Crowfoot card which shows the plants above and the fern-like roots below and the close-ups of the fish. A lovely set with cards size 66 x 36mm.

Wild Flowers 2nd Series 1937 Home issue with adhesive back
Wild Flowers 2nd Series 1937 Home issue with adhesive back 50 - Did you know that the Wallflower is a member of the cabbage family? No, neither did we, but this is one of the facts you will learn from the highly informative texts on the backs of Wills Wild Flowers 2nd Series. Issued in May 1937 this series covers a wide range of common and unusual plants which grow wild in the British Isles, some of which are now rare due to the widespread use of weedkillers and intensive farming practices. The flowers are beautifully illustrated and include the Bee Orchis, Arrowhead, Sorrel, Wild Thyme, Eyebright, Foxglove, Comfrey, Harebell and Dandelion. These backs are adhesive, but the set was also produced in Ireland without adhesive backs. A delightful and inexpensive set with cards size 68 x 36mm.

Kings Art Treasures 1938
Kings Art Treasures 1938 L40 - Back in 1938, King George VI gave permission to Bristol tobacco manufacturers W. D & H.O Wills to produce a series of forty cigarette cards featuring a selection of The King’s Art Treasures. Priceless would be the best word to describe these examples from the Royal Collection, with furniture, porcelain, gold and silverware, a Vulliamy clock, the Goodwood Cup, Queen Charlotte’s sedan chair and Windsor Castle’s State Bedstead, slept in, we are told, by Emperor Napoleon III and the Kaiser among others. The latest arrival at Windsor is on card no. 1 – a ‘lost’ royal cabinet given to the King by Lord Rothschild in 1910. Fabulous quality pictures and highly informative backs make this series a real treasure in its own right. Size 82 x 63mm

Careless Moments (Pin Up Girls) 1922 25 - This set of black and white pictures is titled “Careless Moments” on the reverse, but contains no further information. The idea of the set is that women are captured in an unguarded moment either getting dressed or taking a break from work with the result that most are in their underwear and lots of legs and stocking tops are on view. Unlike the explicit images available today these are tastefully done, but still titillating and if you are into stockings this is definitely the set for you! Cards size 70 x 38mm

Speed Kings 1966
Speed Kings 1966 L36 - This set is billed as the “thrills and spills of speed kings” and there are plenty of card featuring illustrations of cars crashing, catching fire etc., but as if that were not enough the set also includes the ‘new Bluebird jet’ (1966), the ‘Avenger’ which Paula Murphy used to set a new woman’s land speed record, the ‘Spirit of America’ and ‘Bluebird which broke land speed records and the ‘Whispering Ghost’ a Rover gas turbine car which took part in the 1965 Le Mans 24-hour race. What really sets this apart is the inclusion of artists impressions of future vehicles such as rocket looking dragsters, a police car of 2066 and an automated car. Automated cars are of course already in production, but we have to say they look quite boring compared to the example show on card 16 with its nose cone and huge glass panel, indeed if the actual cars looked more like this everyone would be clamouring to have one! A fascinating set, complete with checklist, which is backed by plenty of interesting snippits.

Henry 5th Series 1936
Henry 5th Series 1936 L50 - Kensitas cigarettes, produced by J Wix & Sons, were one of the top brands for many years, helped no doubt by their innovative promotions. In 1935 they began issuing cards featuring the antics of a mischievous boy called Henry who was the invention of well-known American strip cartoonist Carl Anderson. Each colour picture was a complete episode in Henry’s life as he gets himself embroiled in some hilarious situations. Over an eightee- month period Wix produced five different series of fifty Henry cards, with this 5th series from 1936 being their last. The backs bear some outrageous claims, including “Kensitas – your throat protection against irritation.”. These charming colour pictures are sure to raise a smile. Cards size 78 x 65mm.

Romance of the Royal Mail 1935
Romance of the Royal Mail 1935 25 - This set covers the history of the postal service from the mounted relays of the 15th century, via letter-carriers and mail coaches of the 18th century (the first of which ran from Bristol to London in 17 hours on August 2nd 1784), early mail trains of the 1830s, postcards which were first used in the 1870s, early mail vans which began service in 1898, the first airmail in 1911, a Great War field post office and 1930s sorting machinery through to the Post Office which never closes in London’s Leicester Square. In this history of the postal service in this country there are a couple of unusual inclusions such as Thomas Waghorn and the Indian Mail and mail delivery in the Tonga Islands where apparently mail is sealed in petrol tins and thrown in the Pacific for natives to swim out and collect! The charming and distinctive colour artwork is backed by plenty of text and the cards are size 64 x 38mm.

Modern British Locomotives 1954 24 - An excellent set printed in full colour with black frameline and white border. The subject title is printed on the front and there is plenty of information about the loco on the back which we are told is “Courtesy of British Railways”. Train spotters will be pleased to note that the locomotive number as well as its name (where it has one) is shown in the picture. In appearance these look not unlike old cigarette card issues and when this was reviewed in our magazine back at the beginning of 1955 the reviewer said “In fact one might almost say that this set, more than any other post-war trade emission has recaptured the spirit of our pre-1940 sets”. Included are an electric loco No 20003 of the Southern Region, a Diesel-Electric No. 10202, ‘King John’ No. 6026, No. 7012 ‘Barry Castle’, the Jubilee Class No. 45697 ‘Achilles’, No.35028 ‘Clan Line’, the ‘Royal Scott’ No. 46100, the world-record holding ‘Mallard’ No. 60022, No. 70000 ‘Britannia’, a V Class No. 30919 ‘Harrow’ and ‘Longworth Manor’ No. 7826 built in Swindon.
