One of the manufacturers I mentioned in my interview on the latest podcast, is The House of Ratcliffe from 1978. They supplied a sheet of cardboard for kids to use with their blankets, which included some very unusual photographs.

The bedding from 1978 – 79 never has any manufacturer information on it, so it's unclear if it has come from Ratcliffe or if is the American Bibb bedding that has been imported and re-packaged. Ratcliffe might just have been an importer of goods in those days.

I'd like to come across some wrapped examples of House of Ratcliffe items one day. One of my holy grails.

Thanks for that. I have a lot more interesting stuff to share next time around.

I have come across a photo of a journalist who collected a bunch of Star Wars items for a newspaper article. There are a few choice pieces there that I'd like to have in my collection, for sure!

Yes, that Wall's shelf talker is brilliant. Would also love that marshmallow shapes display box! Only ever seen a couple in private collections.
