Hi Lindsay , mate i have 10 consecutive complete issues of the Argus Newspaper here in very good to mint condition . I haven't had them out for well over 15 years , i will have a bo peep and see if there is anything in them worth posting . They are around the same date as Queen Elizabeth's coronation as i have the Womens Weekly of that date too . Ahh the things we hoard .

Cheers Alpine

Womens Weekly issued a number of Bonsai inserts during the sixties and seventies. It would be great if you had one Alpineart.

Hi Lindsay , just uncovered the Argus and the copies range from 1948 - 4 copies -1954 - 6 copies , there is probably more complete copies of other ne prints in the case its half full of papers from that era, never red them began to sort them 15 years ago but that's as far as i got . It red hot out there so i will take advantage and look through them .

Cheers Alpine

Have you got a copy of this one? I've got a couple of them if you would like one for your collection.
