Old wrappers
« on: April 13, 2006, 04:17:17 pm »
At eBay at the moment a seller called peppemintpatty55 has loads of chocolate wrappers for sale. Some of them are old bars mentioned here quite often (eg. Country Style) and includes an old Five Centres bar. Worth a look if you are interested in the wrappers.

I saw these the other day Cherry. They will go for quite a bit. I have a fortunes worth indoors. I will have to wait about 20 years though.

 well done choccie chick!


I like the look of the Cherrymilk bar, wish they made it now.


Made a mistake with the country style, someone else is selling it. But I noticed she has a milk 5 centres as well as a plain 5 centres, just to prove they did exist - I thought it was my imagination!

Also noticed someone is selling a set of millennium bug chocolate wrappers. I just threw mine away, I thought there would be no value in them ... they are currently selling at £2.99!!!!

I can't believe the amount those are going for! It seems mad to me - but then I suppose my Smurf collecting seems mad to some people too!

Interesting stuff Cherry - thanks for that!  There was a Country Style wrapper too, if you go back on the completed listings.

Did you see the fruit and nut wrapper from the 70's with the 31p price sticker on?

Does anybody know anywhere to buy old wrappers apart from Ebay ?


I would like to be collecting more than I am, but certain people on Ebay seem to have inexhaustable pockets, millionaires or owning a curiosity shop no doubt.


kitkattwo, hellomum123, arkwrights, two2pence, jaz_00_uk and member123berlin


seem to be the most avid collectors


Most interested in 70s stuff as that was when I was a teen
