    Alex - That Teddy Bear was the same type of Teddy I had when I was a little girl in the early 70's. It was my first Teddy Bear and a gift from my grandmother who loved going to estate sales and swap meets. It was taken away from me a few years later because I was told I was too old to carry around a Teddy, it disappeared one day while I was attending 1st grade. I cried for weeks after that. I was bought a new Teddy bear but it was never the same. I still hold grudges about the "parenting" I received, but seeing that Teddy in your video was such a wonderful treat. I am glad to see another one made it through all these years. Warms my heart and I am thankful you showed it!

      That St Michael tin is definitely Marks and Spencer and most certainly a biscuit tin Because of its lack of decoration and perfunctory logo makes me think that it was possibly used in store from a time years and years ago when M&S used to sell loose groceries like biscuits and you could buy as many or as few as you liked without being restricted by pack sizes. All these trendy stores today where you can buy by weight seem to think they invented this method of shopping - nope your Victorian /Edwardian ancestors - right up to pre supermarket would recognise this way to shop

    No baseball in that pack as they are English cigarettes. My dad used to smoke Players cigarettes and they had a sailor in an old fashioned uniform on the front and dad used his dad magic by rolling up a small piece of cigarette paper and wetting it slightly, putting it in the sailors mouth having made a hole in the pack to put it in It then got lit and it looked like the sailor was smoking ! So exciting!! Players slogan was ‘Players please’
