Default Re: What radio & TV shop advertising do you remember?

My Dad used to own a shop in Cheadle in the Fifties, and when he closed we inherited a few items. One was an Ambassador - or was it KB? - calendar. It was brass with a square hole in the lower part to show the date. You turned the whole thing on a swivel through 180 degrees, and the next tile would fall into place. Of course it fell on the floor and all the tiles went everywhere, so we became quite adept at interleaving the metal flags, odd one side, even the other. I imagine it must still be somewhere!
