Does anyone remember people making things out of cigarette packets in the late 50s/early 60s? My Dad used to go in the “Long Neck” pub in Ince and used to bring home various things which someone had made. This calendar is for 1959 and is made from Player’s Navy Cut packets.

I like your 1959 calendar Irene – it’s a bit of a show-stopper, isn’t it. My brother and I were shown one during the 50’s/60’s, that was made up into a simple plate shape by using none other than the same cigarette packets as those used for your calendar.
