Several Decades ago, the Shell Oil Company, put out a number of card series. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.
I only have the Transport Card series left, the others have been long thrown out.
I have scanned each page. This is the final part, part 2.

The Shell Grotto is one of Margate's - if not the UK's - great mysteries, and hardly known.
Some have found connections with Ancient Mexico. Others have dated it to the early nineteenth century (I'd favour that one, but even then it's two hundred years old with no record of its construction).
Quite spectacular and incredible value at only £3 per person.

The sterling silver chain of this necklace is 16 inches.
This necklace is fun and modern.
Capiz shell was also called window pane oyster because it was used in the Colonial Philippines in windows. If you hold the shell up to the light you can see the light come through it. It has a certain iridescent glow that you see in other shells such as mother of pearl. This shell has sat in a dye bath to give it such brilliant color.
