Annual publication.

Manufacturer: Hobbies Ltd

Dimensions: Approx: 18 x 25 cm (between A5 and A4)

Year of Manufacture: 1943 Annual plus Catalogue

Contents:

  • 76 page book
    • The book is over 80 years old! Even so, it is in good condition. All pages tightly secured. There are signs of once being damp, but now bone dry. Some pencil calculations inside blank rear cover. There is noticeable tanning to the wartime paper used, but this is mostly confined to the page margins, only encroaching a little into the text. Very easy to read.
  • Fold out / pull out colour Jigsaw puzzle pattern of dog breeds.
    • Jigsaw pattern still attached, in excellent condition, being a gloss paper.
  • Pattern and Instructions for "A Working Model Gun".
    • Model pattern included, still folded, opens to larger than A3, so my scanner crops the image. There is a small finger sized section missing, this can be seen in the image.
  • Hobbies Abridged Catalogue
    • This is undated but predates the 1943 annual substantially. This include the Triumph Fret machine at 90/-, however in the 1943 annual it is listed at 150/-. My guess it is prewar, say 1936.

Condition: Used: Good

Ordering Multiple Items

When ordering more than one item, from this or any of my other listings, please use the Add To Basket button, rather than Buy It Now, to automatically make one order so that you can take advantage of postage discounts - see below. Finally (and you have to use a browser on laptop or PC, as the feature is not available in the app or mobile web) go to the checkout, and use the Request Total link to allow me to manually correct the postage BEFORE payment. Please contact me if in doubt - BEFORE payment.

Domestic Packing and Postage

• The Packing & Postage rates listed offer Royal Mail postal services. These are valid for the whole of the UK.

• If you order multiple items I will combine the orders and adjust the P&P charges BEFORE payment. You will only pay the P&P for the heaviest / largest item. Examples.
(a) You order 20 postcards, you pay the P&P for ONE postcard.
(b) You order ONE postcard and ONE piece of Hi-Fi equipment, you only pay the P&P for the Hi-Fi equipment.
So the postage on additional items is truly FREE. Please let me adjust your invoice manually BEFORE payment. The final choice for carrier and service level will depend on the final packed size of the whole order.

• Alternatively you can collect in person from Minster-On-Sea, Kent for free, but strictly by appointment only. Collected goods will not be packed.

• If you are unsure, or require delivery to an address without a valid P&P rate, please ask BEFORE buying. I will give you a personalised quotation, and will need to adjust your invoice manually BEFORE payment.

International Packing and Postage

I ship to most countries around the world. With 2021 IOSS regulations, I have introduced a minimum order value of £20 because of the extra paperwork. Different countries have different services. I am happy to quote Packing and Postage prices on request. Please indicate the preferred quantity, so that I only have to calculate the price once. Thank you.
