I have a Model and Experimental Engineering Handbook for Bond’s of Euston Road. It is the second edition, dated 1938 and priced at 6d. It makes fascinating reading, for instance a Stuart No. 10 steam engine for £2-10s-0d for the finished engine or 8s 6d if you only want the castings. A 20 volt Hornby 4-6-2 Princess Elizabeth loco and tender in a presentation box for £5-5s-0d. or a No. 4 meccano set for 12s-6d.
It is 202 pages of sheer nostalgia with everything for the modeler being it railways, boats, aircraft or the tools to build them.
Is it worth anything I wonder.
