British Update: Free Gift Farrago: Victor 1967 and 1968, with Glider, ‘Whirling Skimmer’ and other Gifts
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Four issues of the long-running comic Victor, two from 1967 and two from 1968, each with its original Free Gift in high grade. #309 (Jan 21st 1967) is in VG condition and comes with the balsa-wood Victor Glider, ready-to assemble in the original sealed envelope. Comic and FN gift for £25. #310 has an alternative aviation option in the ‘Whirling Skimmer’, the exact instructions for which we can’t go into, as it, too, is sealed in the original envelope. The comic in this case is VF (unusually white pages for a pulp weekly of this vintage) with Free Gift also VF, £40 the pair. Moving on to 1968, issue #362 is FN, and the Free Gift of Cup-Tie Diary with wallet is VF. While the Cup-Tie Diary itself isn’t uncommon, the accompanying ‘wallet’ – pretty much a plastic bag with ‘Victor for Boys’ printed on it – is exceptionally flimsy and usually damaged or lost, so the complete Free Gift is scarce. Comic and Gift at £30. Lastly, #364 is another unusually bright VF copy, with the accompanying Free Gift of nine ‘stand-up footballers’, on punch-out card (but not punched out) also VF. Comic and gift on sale at £40. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
