The box is in fair condition considering its age, but it does have some deformation and a tear to the front where tape has been removed a little too aggressively. The playmat cards show some signs of wear and use, as do some of the other items, but the set is broadly in good, used, condition.

The plastics (srands and wheels) are still attached to their mounts and most of the figure shapes are retained in their original cards, although one or two have worked themselves free over time. The box is in good condition considering its age.

A toy which is very uncommon and even less likely to be in this preserved state if you ever do stumble across one. It would suit an enthusiast of old games or might make a quirky gift for a post office worker or postmaster/postmistress.  Or, perhaps, it might just get used for its original purpose, finally - and it would be great for that to be the case.

A toy which is now uncommon and even less likely to be in this preserved state if you ever do stumble across one. We think it would suit an enthusiast of old games or of travel, or might make a quirky gift for a pilot or airline worker.  Or, perhaps, it might just get used for its original purpose, finally - and we'd absolutely love for that to happen as well.

A set of vintage circus figures which we believe date from the 1970s and which features a weightlifting muscle man, a ringmaster, a clown, a trapeze artist and horse, an elephant, a monkey and a seal balancing balls and a fish. These are incredibly cute and colourful figures which, though showing some signs of wear and tear, make for a wonderful display piece or colourful piece for the collector of cirus-related items. It is possible that the elephant is missing an additional piece - although the ringmaster figure does sit on its back which might be his intended location.  We are fairly sure that the original set of figures contained more items, but this collection of figures is complete bar that.

The figures range in size from a height of 11.5cm (4½ in.) to 29cm (11 in.).  The figures are solid but do have some scuffing and slight deformation from use, but given their age and material we think they have surived very well indeed.

Iconic words to those people of a certain age.  And these iconic postcards will be enjoyed by those very same people and beyond, with their colourful stills from the BBC's Camberwick Green television program and complementary coloured framing.  The postcards date from 1969 and were sent and franked in 1970.  We love these  and think they are charmingly nostalgic items which will appeal to young and old alike.

The glossy red frames are modern and repurposed. They allow for both standing and wall hanging, and measure 15.5cm x 20.5cm x 3.5cm (6in x 8in x 1½ in approx.)

This item originally had some significant wear to the middle, where a smiling sun face illustration is found - notably there is also a hole in the same area, just to the left and above the hole intended for the hands. We have replaced the original movable hands with a new fully working clock mechanism powered by an AA battery to convert the puzzle into an actual clock. We have glued the pieces of the jigsaw in place and also used a clear matt Rust-o-leum top coat finish to protect the face from further damage or wear.

The clock measures 22.5cm by 23.5 cm (8¾in by 9¼in).  The depth of the clock is 1cm (½ in) not including the mechanism/battery compartment, which protrudes by a similar amount at the back.  No fixings are provided, as we expect this item to be shelf-standing but your own fixings could be easily added.

The box is colourful but admittedly rather tatty - but it'll make you smile, we think... as will the contents ;)

Made in Hong Kong, they probably aren't usable as originally intended due to their age and fragility, but they would make colourful eye-catching display pieces, and could be easily box-framed.
