Cuff links. Also a Porsche branded neck tie by Toye, Kenning and Spencer Ltd a British firm who’ve been in business since 1685. Royal warrant holders; probably trading longer than some countries have been in existence in current form?

Quite narrow tie so assume 60s before fashion for wider ties during the 70s although old established maker was probably less influenced by fashion than most

Travelling wool rug as from 1970 advertising products catalog.
A quite expensive item.
A friend kindly sent me this Carrera RS glass paperweight as a present over Christmas. Card inside package mentioned it’s an older item; not a newly made.

Nice items. I have a collection of “castle unit developments” key fobs one for every car marque I’ve ever owned ( with a couple yet to go). When I get my set I plan to make a display.
That’s not battered
:) I have a REALLY battered Porsche CUD and by contrast a totally pristine NOS torpedo on sister brand Craftsman both are Porsche crest.
