Found these yesterday,I don't need any yet, but others may do, comments please.....

25 figures for £3.00p + pp.
Good value but the colours are a bit too vivid and need toned down.
Also depends upon the era, I remember even in the very late 1950s many people still wore suits to go on holiday and the colours especially men were subdued, nearly all men wore white or blue shirts and kids wore pullovers knitted by their mums! Women's colours were mainly blues, greens, and primrose - red was restricted to skirts and pink was mainly for young girls. Polka dots were fashionable but I don't have the eyesight to paint those !
