Oh, God, I can feel bankruptcy coming on... please don't tell my bank manager about this.............

Quote(An unusual item is a tie button pin from 1967)
Has this got a small inset stone representing a diamond?
Reason I ask is that 1967 was the diamond jubilee and each competitor was given a tie pin by the ACU to commemorate the event. I lost mine and would consider a bid if it is one of those given out.

Shaun are there any old TT programmes in the vast collection of items?

Alf sorry , perhaps my descrition of tie pin was wrong , more of a stud really , anyway there is no diamond embedded in it sorry .
Peter i have some old programmes myself what are you looking for may be able to help .

Also have posted an interesting one off for Helen to post for me as i cant work out how to do it , very unusual item is all i will say . Cheers Shaun

The unusual item Shaun speaks of is this........... clicking on it will make it bigger

Thanks for putting this up cargo , helen told me to email you all details , but you have beaten me to it , however when i click on thumbnail to enlarge i am denied access ?
Anyway details of picture are as follows , John Shotton , has spent hours painting a map of the TT couse with all the place names etc on it , the unusual thing about this is that every mile has a Joey Dunlop 50p piece embedded into picture , a real work of art fantastic if you ask me , that means it must be worth £ 18.50 already , just think whoever buys this if feeling the pinch a bit can take the 50ps out 7 go and get hammered hee hee , seriously though John has spent many hours creating this & very generously donated it to us .

There you go.
Not sure why you cant see the bigger version of the first one.
But as you should now be able to see ( I hope) I've inserted it into your posting

Thanks Cargo ,thats billiant .
