I bought a collection of old whippet/magazine advertisement dated between 1943 and 1976. This was one of the ad's (1964). I am curious about mention of Keepsake being exported to Australia.

They were on ebay. I will post some more of them on a separate thread within the next day or so. Some of them are fabulous, especially the Wingefoot and Harque ones. Other kennels are Poppy, Tinribs, Stoney Meadows, Boloney, Oxslip, Dragonhill, Allways and Test.

What are five g.'s in today's money? You can give it to me in quid--I'll do the conversion.

But it seems really really cheap.

A stud fee in the 1960's for a US dog would be $150-200---or about 120 quid. Or so.

Thanks for passing on them Leanne. They are a lovely little collection. I bought all three lots, so I got a discount on the postage. The seller is K9 Cards
