Re: Vintage Related Memorabilia

Most of us remember the Caltex toy tankers that were very popular. I still have remains of one from my childhood, but probably an Esso one. Now we know the Caltex ones were sold for Rs. 3.50

This is undated but I assume 1960s

I had one that was almost 2 feet long with 10 or 12 wheels. . Think it was Caltex too. Must have been from 1945-65. How big is this one ?

Wow, I don't remember seeing such large ones. The one I still have fits in my palm.

This is the one I had, ca 1965. Definitely not from the 1950's as described.

Interesting letter from 1977 for cancellation of a radio licence because of a car being stolen (WMA 6300)

Re: Vintage Related Memorabilia

Hello All,

Was cleaning up an old cupboard at home and found my Grandfather' old driving license.

It appears to have been issued in 1943.

I suppose we've come a long way from the above type of driving licenses to the 'Red Booklet' to the "Pink Printout" to the now Smart Card.

Don't know what the future beholds!

Re: Vintage Related Memorabilia

Hello everyone, i'm here after almost 2 years, its been a long time. Would have to catch up gradually over some period of time.
Here is a Tax Token issued on 15.05.1935 to a Studebaker bearing registration no TRI 1597. The period is from 01.05.1935 to 30.06.1936, strange as it should have been up to 30.04.1936. 14 months instead of 12 months.
I cannot really read the name of the place where this was stamped, TIRUPP****. The last 4 letters are unclear.
Hope you like. It is quite a good condition.

cheers
