There are so many good photos of souvenirs!  It is wonderful to see them.

Unfortunately I was not home in time to take this photo of my 1969-1979 souvenir collection.  However, I thought I'd share it regardless.  Enjoy!

[Lynda Bradford]

Only eight people have voted so far and already one photo is in the lead. 

If you haven't voted yet, why not take time to have a look and vote for three favourite pictures.

That model looks like the one that could have removable a clockwork motor attached under the hull to propel it along?
