Title: Aston Villa Memorabilia on eBay
Post by: Brazilian Villain on August 16, 2020, 09:34:55 PM: Randomly happened to be on eBay earlier and was amused to see the following item(s).

I have one which moved with us from Brum to Ireland. When I left home Mum took it down but was considerate enough to pack it carefully for safe keeping. I'm not familiar at all with eBay but I assume they're not worth anything near that. More curious if anyone here of a similar vintage has one as well or similar stuff from that era.

Agreed, mine's nice to have from my childhood, but that's class. When is it from, late 70s?
