BROOKE BOND CARDS #2

Here's a wee nosey inside the Brooke Bond books to give you a reminder of the layout.
Picking a page out at random from the motor cars one, we have 3 cards featuring a Mini Minor, Rover BRM and Ferrari P4. The illustrations are an XK Jaguar and a Citroen.
You should all be familiar with painting on the card from the book of ships - yes it's the Discovery. Back then in the 60's it was berthed in London, way before there was any notion of it being a Dundee icon!

BROOKE BOND CARDS #1

I reckon most of you who were kids in the 60's will remember collecting Brooke Bond picture cards. This was when tea packets contained loose tea rather than tea bags, and we needed a tea caddy & sieve to make a cuppa.
There were a variety of subjects cropped up on the cards as they changed from one set to the next. Some I can recall are, wildlife, space, famous people and butterflies, but there were only 2 themes I managed to collect the complete set of, motors cars and ships.
These were hard earned too, having to go around the primary playground trying to find swaps with the doublers!
The 2 books above are from around the 1968/69 period and not only contain the full set of cards (50 in each) but they also had a lot of illustrations and extra info on the subjects.
