Brooke Bond Fish Cards

Post by Woodytia »

Does anyone remember the picture cards that used to come in packs of Brooke Bond tea? One of the sets of cards was for freshwater fish and I have just got my hands on a set in the album that could be bought to stick the cards in. At the same time I got a lovely little book called What Fish is That, published by the British Fields Sports Society. Both of them include the Burbot so that if nothing else dates them.

Yes I had the full set of cards in the Brooke Bond album. Happy memories.

That chub picture always excited me as a kid. I had the full set, probably still do if I was to excavate the loft, they were wonderful images.

I have the Freshwater Fish set from Brooke Bond tea and also one odd card from the set that is the Bass! I have a number of card sets on my walls in double glass frames and I am undecided as to which one I am going to change to the fish. I have a set called curious beaks that my wife does not care much for, that will probably yield the donor frame. That set of freshwater fish reminds me so much of when I was a kid that I must get them up on the wall, and this thread has just jogged my memory for the task. :Hat: Reedling.

My father very kindly donated me this book, I think it is completed but I cannot be sure from memory. I'll have a little look later and post some photos :Sun:

I won a set of bb cards for £3 and a set of players for £2.50 about a month ago.
I got them to decorate my fag tin tackle boxes,(patent pending)
