The Contents of a Metal Box

The collected items of my youth have followed me around in my adult years in a large green metal trunk which, from a stuck on registration plate letters DOB 674 , was at one time the back box from an old motor vehicle. 

I have been thinking about listing its contents for some time. 

Here it is minus some football programmes and miscellaneous items. There is a bit of a theme going in categories, mostly Cycling, Football, Theatre and Concert Programmes. Some of them I did attend although I went through a phase of buying footie programmes from club shops and other sources. They could do with a bit more annotation and explanation in some instances but I will return to this page now and again to put on such comments. There is another box, a large plastic storage one, with yet more collected and accumulated bits and bobs from a busy and fruitful life. That is for another day.
