Player’s Navy Cut – Gold Leaf
Typography on an old 2oz tobacco tin – Player’s Navy Cut, ‘Gold Leaf’.
Disturbing?
Found: In the 70s when I was about 8 or 9 years old I had a ‘Plasticraft’ kit (almost identical to the US Plasticast toy). It comprised of a ceramic mould, enamel liquid, hardener, coloured liquids and some sample things to ‘enamel’. I didn’t attempt to make the shell pendant or the monogrammed cuff-links, I went for a stamp; creating something slightly more disturbing. Maybe it was the fumes.
70s Skateboard Magazine – issue 1
August 1977, the ‘ollie’ hadn’t been invented but boy could we tic-tac.
Tucked away in a box, 15 glorious issues of 70s magazine Skateboard! – Gullwings, benjyboards, kryptonics, the sims taperkick, the list goes on – anyway, check out the type.
Update – Other people kept their magazines too http://www.oldskaters.com/skateboard/
The wedding guests
Found in a book given to my mother – it looks like a 70s still from The Dick Emery Show.

I worked for 15 years as an editorial photographer in London back when nobody had heard of ‘digital’ and film was costly. My clients included the BBC, IPC Media and Associated Newspapers.
