Bl@@dy h@ll : you must have done exceptionally well in the research-grant lottery stakes to be able to afford all those type-specimens !  I hope they are all put to their proper use when you have finished your chemical analyses

I love the last two, for their container designs; the last of all ("Ship") takes me right back to the much-missed "Home and Colonial" we used to have in Eltham High Street when I was young ...
