Where to start, the questionaire came from Toytrac? I have one that came from there. I thought I had shown the patches! I vaguely remember the McDonalds adverts, seem to recall a large poster was used? was it that long ago! Love the Ford leaflet, wouldn't mind one of them. Kerry gold set is different. I have some Milkyway promo bits, a small booklet and an advert from a comic The Aisle hanging cards are nice. I don't seem to be able to get/find any of the newer stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have purchased quite a few different adverts via ebay over the last few years, two of a few in error, for the most part from the same person. Your large cabinet is exactly the same as mine, different header, although I do have that one, and I put a mixture of shelf edgers on my one. There was a collector on one of the face book pages who put two up in a loft, couldn't have been easy, huge great things! Yes it did keep me busy paul struggled loading them on to forum so ended up cropping them all a little and then it worked. Yes the questionaire did come from toytrac 2016 i think, thought you might have it. Do you mean a large billboard poster was used? The ford leaflet was an ebay find a few years ago not something id seen before or since. The kerrygold set was from a local toy fair a couple of year back £5 so cheap enough Yes my adverts are from ebay of the same seller probably the same seller you got yours off? The aisle hanging cards were just lucky, just happened to ask a shop owner one day and they had just come in that morning so said i could have them. Yes the large cabinets are huge things the guy must have had a big loft to stand them up in,there about 7ft tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 @jmd I'msure there was a large poster that goes in those holders you get in bus shelters, it was a while ago so maybe wrong or about something completely different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Amazing to see just how much off this stuff has to be out there ... I mean, I have brochures, some posters, some adverts from older magazines, but there has to be a lot more! Thanks for sharing with us, hope you get well soon.

ALLEN XL Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I tried to find it on YouTube. I cannot remember exactly when it was, but I think it was possibly late 90's or early 2000's. As I remember it showed clips of real machines & the man narrating would say something like, 'New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Valtra Valmet, collect them all', with a shot of models at the end.

ALLEN XL Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I am sure I would see it on morning TV before I went to work. We would normally watch The Big Breakfast on Channel 4, so I think it was possibly on there. Didn't watch much of Meridian TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) A few more bits, in no particular order. A large sticker 24" long by 3" high. This from some time between 1964 and 1979 after which, except for a few Sales Aids, the use of the B with soldier within was discontinued. £2 coin to give an idea of size. This is a paper window frieze and is 12" wide by 11" high. The design is exactly the same as the catalogue and non adhesive sticker, shown earlier, albeit larger A flyer or small poster, a little bit larger than A4. From 1977. The hand was used on the front cover of the trade/customer catalogues and also the card display stands, shown earlier Milkyway advert from Chips comic of 4 April 1987, shown with small pamphlet produced for this promotion. You received this with your livestock/figure. Another competition entry form, from 1987 the reverse side Edited April 13, 2020 by super6 tryping error! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
