We will start with some ceramic bottles from Britain. The cricket ball is from the
1960's and was made by WLS

of Torquay. It sold for £26 - a
very good price for the vendor.
The soccer ball did not sell for
such a good a price, fetching
only £8.26. WLS have also
made a bowling ball (and pins)
and a golf ball.

If I had been the seller of the barrel I would have
been very unhappy. This sold for a minimum bid

of £0.99. It comes from the Cornish Mead
Company, which is based in the county next door
to WLS.

We go across the English
Channel (or Pas de Calais)
to Garnier of France for the

three cards. These date
from 1971 and each card
has three different colour
backs, Red, Brown and
Blue. Some people mistake the red and
brown as the brown is on the red side.
The Jack and Queen are said to have a
Brown Red back, which I take to be the
brown, and the King a blue back. The
J&Q went for US$2.76 each and the King
for US$11.95

Burns' Cottage contains Robbie Burns Scotch. £16.00 seemed a reasonable
price.

We have seen the McCormick Shriner Circus Set before in miNiZ. These were
