Pure quality. Exactly what I expect from this company. I own over ten different memorabilia packs, four replica newspapers and a massive box of WWI memorabilia (not seen on their website or on Amazon, can only be bought from certain museums. I bought mine from Chislehurst Caves.) This memorabilia pack is full of interesting items that you can spend hours reading. But... (Yes, there's a but.) It seems to me that this pack isn't as full as the other packs. It seems that this pack features less items than the other packs. That's not to say that there's hardly anything in it, you still get a lot of things but it just feels like the other packs usually feature more items than this one has... It's still worth the money, mind you, but if you already own another memorabilia pack, you'll notice the difference instantly (or at least, I did).

I bought this for my classroom as I am a primary school teacher. The little bits looked great on my display and got the children talking. They brought a bit 'age' to the display. Great product.

I shall be using this pack for collage and mixed media projects. It's great: contains much more than I was expecting. I shall really enjoy using it and am considering buying others in the range.

This Victorian Household - replica memorabilia pack is similar to those other packs of historical ephemera from the Resources for Teaching set of products, but these items tend to be centred on the moneyed classes within the Victorian era, rather than give any ideas or insights into the lives of ordinary working people. We have a facsimile of the first edition of the Exchange and Mart for 1868 price one penny. With servants wanted adverts, and ads for a Landau or Brougham carriage for sale. Included also are several replica advertising brochures such as the one for Hampton & Sons of Pall Mall, who could furnish your whole house with anything from a valve water closet to the four poster bed for your fitted bed room. There is also a licence from the Inland Revenue for authorisation to employ and keep servants, use armorial bearings, and to use your own horse and carriage,which had to be renewed yearly. Just like today, the Victorians had a tax for nearly everything! The remainder of the pack is given over to advertising materials for such things as Carbolic Tooth Soap which probably tasted as bad as it sounds,and cures for all kinds of ailments, the cures which would no doubt be illegal now. Like other packs in this series, there are a number of cigarette card size adverts for Robin Starch, Peek,Frean & Co biscuits,and one rather dubious one for Scrubbs Cloudy Ammonia, refreshing as a turkish bath or for your hair? The Victorians were suckers for an advert or two. Whilst this pack is more, Upstairs Downstairs or Downton Abbey than the ordinary man and woman in the street, it does give an interesting look at Victorian life. Some of the items are quite small as other reviewers have stated, but they are worth a look. Those of us who had relatives who were in service would gain more than just a glimpse at a world now gone. Children might enjoy these packs, but they are somewhat fragile and might require laminating to give them a longer life in tiny hands. I don't understand why they are listed as a 'toy', when they are really primary source material for period history, but either way, they are interesting items. Well worth a look see.

These are essentially resource packs for teachers to show students but we bought them for our vintage themed wedding. They are brilliant, really really look the part - They will just give that little extra to the feel of the reception, couldn't be happier.

Was excited to order these with a collection of other Victorian inspired things to make a themed shadow box. One photo is of items that are actually usable and another is what I'm having to throw out due to the manufacturing process. They arrive with perforated edges and joined together which ruins the look in my opinion. I would pay more for individual cards. Also some of the photos are double sided so you are only getting one item rather than two. The advertisement cards all have newspaper clips on the back. I think these are more suited to card making than props.

Good value for money. This will add to my Victorians display. Lots of good 'household' insights and the children have learned a lot.
