More bargains, so far so good.

Well, my Brother took another trip to Tavistock market today where he picked up Blazzing saddles & a smash ad reel a few weeks ago. Lo and behold the other advert reels were still there. The guy asked for £5 each,(there were 5) so he offered £20 for all five and it was accepted. £4.00 each. Each one in its original box and i have to say they look brand spanking new. At the very least i was expecting them to have either scratches or fade or both. I took a quick glance and they appeared good, i gave gave them a clean up with the filmgaurd, & unbelievably this is what we got on the screen.

Well done indeed, jammy little devil, I still remember the song from the Butter ad, "We are the lads from Country life, You can't put a better bit of butter on yer knife..." not to mention Ridley Scott flogging Hovis loaves before he discovered Aliens in his dough mix. Way
to go Tom.

I've got one or two of the Buttermen ads you show there Tom, but unbelievable that you continue to find finds like this at your local market stall in this day and age!!

Must have been at least a few keen collectors that lived in the Plymouth region no doubt judging by these wonderful catchments.

This weekeng I am part of a big flee market (my son is playing drums in a band). I allways hope for some films to show up, but it never do. But if they do, they won't even show up for sale since I will buy them first :-) I am sitting in the school yard right now actually, guarding all the flees since we sell on sundays asswell but has closed for today,
