Couple of car boots worth

What a strange mix of stuff I got this week, to start off,
a silver plated tea set for just £1, I don't know if I like it or not, theres a couple of sets just like it on ebay, so I don't think its very old, which is a shame,
next up is a Tiny Tears doll from the 70's, as a child I always wanted one but never got one, I'd been looking at them on ebay last week, just for reminiscings sake, so  was surprised to see one yesterday for £1. Shes had a bath and washed her hand knitted clothes, and will now become another dust catcher, lol.
I love aprons, or pinnys as we call em, so was chuffed to get this unopened Domestos apron from thier 2007 offer, bought it from my workmates who had a stall, for 50p, cheers girls !
Found this Bossons 'punjarbi' head for £1, its awful but cool
I got these 2 books for 50p each, one says first published in 1935, but the cookery one looks about 40's/50's
last of all, but my favorite is this 8 day mantle clock, for £2,  we gave it one turn of the key and it ticked for a couple of hours so will try winding it up properly, see how it goes, don't know how old it is, maybe 30's/ 40's ???


thanks for looking, have a lovely bargain filled weekend x
