Bargain! :shock: It's got 'cheap Blyton entry' written all over it! :lol:

Retrofy it and bring it out on some of the historic speed events we're planning this year whoever bought that! ;)

Can vouch for this label, bought one recently. Put it on a new Buchanan tartan rug, looks fantastic. I know its not original. Great quality

Not too bad when they are new to new-ish.

When there is a bit of play in the links you would be better off trying to shift gear with your dinner fork..... :shock: :shock: :shock:

I have seen similar ones on Ebay for £35.00 which look really good but these are only £12.50 and look to be only printed, not embroidered like the dearer ones.

Just had this response from seller 'Hi, they are just printed, so if you want an exact copy please do not buy, Thanks Neil.' So if you want a good reproduction label maybe better to look at a embroidered ones that are for sale elsewhere. I suggested he may want to alter his description to avoid disappointing buyers, so it will interesting to see if he does.

Description has now been changed, but still doesn't state they are only printed.

Hi,
I got confused (easily done with me!!). I bought the embroidered label not the printed one on EBay. It is excellent. Have no idea about the printed label.

Both the blanket labels are embroidered, just by different methods, one traditional the other in a method sometimes known a Bevo (after the machine it's done on).

The more accurate label is the expensive one.
