Oxford Diecast 1/43 Green Shield Stamps Mini Van (CS052)

Green Shield stamps were very popular in the UK during the sixties. Who can’t remember receiving them at the tills in all of the larger supermarkets? My mother would always be sure to keep them safe and they’d build up over a few months, before it became time to stick them into the special books. That was my job and I took immense pride in ensuring that they fitted into the correct positions. The books could later be exchanged for a range of household goods such as toasters, garden furniture and toys. It did become crazy as retailers fought for business, offering double stamps then triple stamps, eventually we all began to realise that, although the stamps were accumulating, grocery prices were having to rise to cover the costs of the scheme. So, when Tesco abandoned the stamps in favour of a simple value for money approach, other retailers were forced to follow suit
