Nice find Leigh. I just love history of it all, never knowing what you might find.

Can we have more pics please Leigh.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Whittys was a sporting gun and fishing shop in Liverpool I remember going there with my father when I was aged about 9 in 1969 but it must have closed in the 1970s don’t remember going there much after this date mike
