Ralph,
I was interested to read your report on the Tuckfields bird cards.
I have all four albums 1 - 384 complete except for a handful in the third
album. I collected them when I was a teenager in Melbourne. I have lived in
Qld for many years now and am not sure if they are still available but you
could try the company - they used to be in South Yarra. They certainly are a
terrific collection and your note has had me drag them out for the first
time in years. I might try to fill the holes in my collection. Sorry but I
have no spares from the first album to help you.
cheers,
David Taylor

Subject: [BIRDING-AUS] Tuckfield Tea's bird album
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 19:37:19 +1100
Recently, while browsing antique shops in Victoria, I bought a copy of
Tuckfields' bird card album for cards no. 1 to 96, with notes for
birdwatchers, 2nd edition, published by
Tuckfield's Teas, South Yarra, in the 1950's.
It is an interesting curiousity piece, but unfortunately the set (of 96)
cards is not complete - it is missing one here and there.
Would anyone still have any of the cards of this set stowed away anywhere
that they might be able to let me have?
In fact, does anyone at all have one of these? Does anyone know who the
artists/compilers were?
Regards
Ralph Reid
