Nice. Im starting to see more and more for sale.
What happened to all the brass shells left over after the wars?

I saw one for sale a few months back at a local fair, about £50 to 60 if I remember correctly.

Not a bad price for today's market however, I stopped buying them when they reached 40 GBP.

Indeed Tony, though I don't have one and as you mention by todays rates not too expensive but more than I am willing to pay for one. I'll either find one for less one day or I won't get one, simples!

I will be keeping my eye open to complete my tin.
Wish I had got the pencil as a kid.
I remember thinking it was a strange pencil, half metal.... very confusing. ha ha.
