Introduction

I haven't included descriptions of the condition of each item as I think this can be ascertained from the images.

I don't like to use the word 'mint' in the descriptions as I believe that anything that is over 50 years or so old can't really be so described.

I would say that the majority of my collection could be fairly described as being in excellent to near mint condition with most items in their original boxes. That was the general criteria I followed when buying items for the collection.
