vintage chocolate collection
« on: October 12, 2005, 10:56:16 pm »
Hiya

I have quite a large collection of vintage chocolate wrappers,
dummy displays and shop advertising from the late victorian
through to the end of the 30's and i am in the process of
creating a website and i will post the link once it is live.
The website will have quite a selection of pics of items within
my collection. Does anyone else on this forum have a
collection similiar?

This sounds fantastic. Can't wait to see your website. Have you got anything from 1950s/60s/70s?

I have got lots of wrappers but I have not made a website for them.



Muggy has a collection of limited edition wrappers and packaging.

I did have 50's and 60's items but the collection was getting too
big, most of this collection is now of 30's items. From this period
I have frys crunchie, kit kat, maltesers, milky way, tiffin, smokers
chocolate, ovaltine chocolate, smarties etc. I have been
collecting fifteen years but there is still lots of items I am still
looking for. There are a handful of collectors throughout the UK
who collect this sort of stuff, i came across it by accident really.

I don't think their is a website although you can buy the 50s/60/
s and70s Scrapbooks by Robert Opie (should be on Amazon).
These usually have a page on choc wrappers and are great
nostalgia books for those decades
