About Vintage Stuff

The aim of Vintage Stuff is to display some of the ephemera that I have collected, often inadvertently, over the years. I am now deliberately seeking out interesting old adverts, screen shots, leaflets, obscure record covers, picture postcards and illustrations; anything that catches my eye, in fact. They will be mainly, but not exclusively of UK origin (so many vintage blogs appear to be American) and almost always a scan from something that I actually have in my collection, rather than off the net. If you do re-blog, please acknowledge the source. Further stuff, mainly photographs, can be found on my Flickr pages, via the Benny Hill record cover.

Corgi Motorcycle Co. Ltd.

 This jolly couple are riding little 98cc motor cycles built by Brockhouse Engineering of Southport between 1947 and 1954. Some 27,050 were sold, initially to the USA and were a strengthened version of the Welbike, designed to be dropped by parachute during the war.


This little advert appeated in The Motor Cycle magazine, issue dated 11 August 1949.
