Old Mamod advert from the States

It arrived today! It's in near mint condition, and it's a rwal nice little advert! I think it was made in 1961 (see the last picture), and it has survived really well. It took about 16 days to get here from the date it was posted!

If you want to use one or more of the pics, please ask me 1st!

Enjoy

Dont you wish you could buy them at those prices today?

I bet that in pre inflation dollars they were more expensive then than one would be today though.
James

Aye John!

I were thinking wow, £3.50

But aye, the dollar would have probably been stronger back then!

I think it was weaker James or the OZ dollar was a lot better.

Back then the OZ dollar was worth more than the US but it hasn't been that way for a long time now.
Atleast we are up from the low 60cents US to the OZ dollar up to mid 80 cents.
