Bank Holiday Boot Sale

Some of the more unusual things at todays Boot Sale

 

A quart beer bottle and a couple of old Milk Bottles, in the mis 1970's the local Off Licence still sold beer in quart screw top bottles, the milk bottles are from before the standard milk bottle was introduced on the old style bottles each dairy had a different size top. 

One stall had some amusing signs.

 

An exercise bicycle, most people did not try and sell them and took them to the dump instead, when I was working the women organising a raffle decided to get an exercise bike as the first prize, I brought tickets in the raffle but no ay did I want an exercise bike, well they did not put the names on the ticket stub, yours truly won it, I never claimed the prize they has suspicions' over who had won it but I had destroyed the ticket, the exercise bike was in the ladies locker room for ages.    

78's these have become rare at Boot Sales now I have not seen any for four or five years maybe longer today there were 2 stalls selling them. 

Miniatures, my mother used to collect miniature sprit bottles when I was young, she had a number of shelves full of them, then one day she decided to get rid of them, so they were all thrown out, under the Boot Sale rules you are not supposed to sell Alcohol or food there were several stalls selling food.

I brought 3 records today, an Embassy Single, one of the more obscure Tornados Single, and a copy of Lonnie Donegan's - World Cup Willie in a Picture Sleeve.
