Low priced indeed.

My mother used to tell me that when she was a child circa 1925, that a loaf of bread was a 11/2d. or one and a half pence.

Silk Worm Gut sounds like a great first aid application(yuk).
But then again what is Silk worm gut?

Hi Geoff,
I can remember my first packet of cigarettes being from a slot machine.
5 Woodbines with 5 matches attached for 2 old penniesand turn the handle..

That really makes me feel old !!!!!

Do it again, anytime.
