"Packed in Pure Fun". The "Sardines" fishy puzzle is a novelty toy which is both an immediately pleasing concept and packaged in a colourful and interesting way. The aim of the puzzle is to get all of the little sardines back into the tin. It's a little harder than it might first appear - there is only one solution - but helpfully the answer is given on the underside of the "tin". In bright orange and blue, this is 1970s plastic fantastic at its finest. It's just a fun item and it would make for a gift that is certainly different from the norm.

Vintage brass fish-shaped ashtray or trinket dish

This quirky fellow in brass was probably intended originally as an ashtray or trinket dish and most likely dates from the 1950s. We think he's got something about him and, having given him a clean, think he could grace a new home, perhaps a place to put your keys to go with his scales... get it? No? Suit yourself!

The tray measures 13 x 7.5 x 2 cm (5 x 3 x 1in) and is in good condition considering age and use.
