Same here mate!......I am that age too, and my brother got a Relum from one of those catalogues....happy daysOriginally Posted by auora5000
Yes, Thanks Hwvixen for the info, I did a search on this, my date was reasonably accurate at circa 1972, I bet they would have cost about 50p a tin back then, a whopping 38 years ago!
I was just 17 years old then and envious of my mate who had a brand new Airsporter, whilst I had a .22 meteor which I bought 2nd hand of a mate, who in turn bought it from his mums catalogue.....those were the days.............Actually, I had a quick mooch on eb@y after reading your post, to see if there were any Littlewoods, Grattan, Freemans, Kays etc. catalogues from that era, as I like to post old gun adverts on my flikr page......
I suppose they have all been binned over the years, but if anyone's gran on here is using them for loft insulation or whatever.......They are fetching good money.......
