Day 22 of my Edwardian advent calendar is an advert for the Follows and Bate marmalade maker ☺️.

All adverts appeared in the strand between 1900-3. #Edwardian@

16 shillings (£0.80) back in 1904 would today cost £120, those cutters were valuable pieces of kit!

They'd be worth way more. Real silver on them there shillings

What wait that's a really good point

Or not... scrap value 4.70 each

Up to around £350 for a good one

Yes but that's kinda of cheating comparing with collectable ones

Well, they're getting scarcer. Edward VII is long gone

Before finding Bitcoin I thought about buying pre-war coins

I used to have Britannias

Almost bought some sovs in 2019 but a friend suggested Bitcoin instead and luckily I listened, learnt a lot since then! 🤯

I sold mine for Bitcoin

Incredible.
