Recently found my mint copy of The Aquarist magazine while sorting through my fishy stuff. Anyone remember it? Cost one shilling and three pence apparently?
Got some great articles in it aswell and some old style adverts which just crack me up! Some of them remind me off those crap prizes you could win on Bulleyes!
Ok will show these beauties off now Bullseye stylee........(can't beat a bit of bully
)
Number one...State of the art "Jaynor de luxe" air pump! Electric vibratory Compressor.....ooooooooooooooooh technical!
* No radio or television Interference (huh?)
*"Kwickchange Longlast" diaphragm (whatever!)
*Supplied in handsome cabinet, colours red, blue, black or black crocodile finish! (classy!!!)
Number two....A Guppy tank!
*These aquaria are heated by a small electric light bulb situated in the base and a similar bulb in the cover! Retails at 36 shillings and 8 pence! (how much heat can one bulb emit?)
and bully's special price......A tubular type aquarium!!!!
*All over anti-drip, rust-proof, avaliable in sea-green, copper or grey, cellulosed in poloychromatic and glazed with Black magic a leak proof glazing compound!!!
