Condition and Collector Appeal
Items in this lot show age-related wear consistent with their period, including creasing, edge wear and marking to the printed paper elements. The Dinky Toys calendar retains its spiral binding and bright colourways, while the Al Jolson album and Music for All magazine display the printed covers typical of their era. The lot is not described as complete, and the contents have not been individually verified or tested. Its mix of motoring, music, wartime-era and domestic ephemera will appeal to collectors of Dinky Toys memorabilia, Green Shield stamp collectors and those interested in social history and popular music.
