The eight magnets to the right of the right-hand board were the PG Tips (tea) chimpanzees. They are probably the oldest fridge magnets we have, and must be from about the early 1980s. They are holograms, with different pictures depending on how you look at them. Unfortunately they are not in brilliant condition, having been battered over the years on the fridge door.
Here is their history ...
The Tipps family
In 1956, PG Tips began using anthropomorphic chimpanzees in their television advertisements. These were dressed in human clothes and were known as the 'Tipps family'. Their voices were often provided by celebrities, such as Peter Sellers and Bob Monkhouse. By 1958, PG Tips had risen from fourth to first place in the British tea market. The chimpanzees were from Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire.
These advertisements were stopped in the 1970s, after complaints by animal rights organisations. However, sales dropped, and the chimps were bought back 18 months later. The last 'Tipps family' advert was broadcast in January 2002. The PG Tips chimps spawned a spin off in memorabilia, including trading cards and figurines. And fridge magnets, which came with the tea.

i made more square magnets last night, with the work of camille rose garcia, alexandra nechita, miro and picasso. the old photos of the woman and the girl on the right hand side are my favorite. i'm still trying to decide whether or not to sell them or not.
i went to an estate auction here in lexington sc, last summer.. an old farm home which sat on "devil's backbone road" (weird huh?) had everything for sale. sadly, there was an old photo album that was thrown in the woods nearby the farmhouse barn. i saw these two little pictures just laying on the ground, so i scooped them up. i thought it was sad that someone just threw out their family photos like they were garbage. but i guess one of the last living relatives died and there was no one to claim the old photos. i should have seen if i could have gotten the entire photo album. i love the little girl's expression on her face! her smirk.

You can get all kinds of magnets.
From the traditional piece of iron (or ore, alloy, or other material) that has its component atoms so ordered that it exhibits properties of magnetism, to the kind of person who is a magnet for trouble - i.e. they attract trouble, or maybe even a babe magnet - the kind of man who attracts attractive women.
These however are fridge magnets. They come in all sizes, and shapes and simply stick to the fridge.
