Box of Vintage Annuals and Children’s Books
This lot comprises a cardboard box containing a quantity of vintage children’s annuals and hardback books, spanning several decades of British publishing. Titles visible within the lot include Tiger Annual 1971, Tiger Book of Soccer Stars 1973, Tiger Who’s Who in Football 1974, Blue Peter Sixth Book, Yogi Bear’s Own Annual and The Young Airman’s Annual. Other titles include The Pathfinder Book of Scout Stories, Our Railways, My Treasure Book and a Gilbert Harding Question Book, alongside the Olympics 1896-1972 volume. Publishers and imprints noted on the spines include Purnell, Collins and Odhams, and the lot reflects the popular comic annual and hobby book styles of the period.
Condition and Collector Appeal
Spines and covers show the expected signs of age and handling, with some fading and wear to the colourful dust-less boards. Some items appear to have worn edges and creasing, and the cardboard box itself is well used. No further condition details are stated, and buyers are encouraged to view the lot in person or request further information before bidding. Mixed lots such as this are of interest to collectors of Tiger, Blue Peter and Yogi Bear memorabilia, as well as those seeking vintage annuals for nostalgia or reading.
