No idea what it might be worth, but if you bought it in 1976 you didn't pay
£13 and 13 shillings for it, we went decimal in 1971.


Quite right, you spotted the deliberate;-) mistake, it was actually
christmas 1967, that makes it 38yrs old, and I remember it cost equal to
21 shillings per foot or in those days a guinea a foot!! I had to ask my
wife whose parents bought it me as a present.
