Found at home – A souvenir sheet of stamps from the Japan World Exposition, Osaka 1970.

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.

70′s badge for the Cresta soda drink featuring the ‘Cresta Bear‘.

Another bookmark. The back reads, “The Crown Inn, from Patrick”.

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/

Found in a book given to my mother – it looks like a 70s still from The Dick Emery Show.
