    Dad passed away about 12 months ago, and I have been helping Mum clear and sort his things in our multiple sheds. I found the attached but can't quite ID it. Any help would be appreciated.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Hey Jimjo, thanks for that. Yep it seems that is the one. I have it half way cleaned up and an polishing the case with headlight Polish to get it somewhat clearer and more presentable.[​IMG]

    Thanks so much BlueShaver, he had a full life and left us at 91 years happy in the knowledge he had a "Good Innings" (Cricket anology). I also have a couple of brushes and A "Fatboy" from Dad's gear. Mum gave me all his "Old Spice" aftershave in the original old sixties ceramic bottles too

    He certainly did have a great innings!

    You are very lucky to have such great momentos of your father.
    Clean them up and use them and show and tell here when you do :)
