Today at a car boot .
the unpainted ones all have Zephr ZR4 on them there is a unused harcork float with a price label on it which reads Guildfod pet stores 0.09p I am wondering if they bought up a job lot of said floats and painted them with a view to reselling them needless to say with that paint job they did'nt sell.

What a fantastic find, I look forward to see how you get on with your task. I keep hearing people say Boot sales are a waste of time as everyone knows the value of what they have got, what with Ebay, Antiques road show and all that. The bargains and suprises are still out there to find and you have proved it. Well done that man and good luck. :Hat: Reedling.
