britains_floral_garden : Message: Main Database

Hi Mark,

Apologies for the delay in replying to your welcome answer. I think the idea of a central database is brilliant. I can supply a lot of box styles and catalogue numbers, some production dates and deletion dates. There were three series issued between 1960 and 1969 when the series was withdrawn. The tree series I don't have any info on, but this would be good to include as they were designed to suit the Floral Garden range.

May not be around until after Christmas and New Year, but it will take a while to collate all this information from other members too.

Many thanks and Seasons Greeting

Regards Mike.
