Help needed.

I've found a very unusual piece of history today.

While servicing a mate's Perkins on his old Dutch motorsailor, I pulled out a basket of service parts marked Uncle Ernest's Mail. This may have not been looked at for a while. There were cardboard tubes of chaulking that were on the slightly stiff side, Duck Oil cans that were rusty (from the inside?) and a very special item.

The item was purchased from Camper & Nics chandlery some time ago. Now I can't remember when they shut their doors, but it was a good while ago. Can any Forum member give details of when the business finished?

The Product found?

**As Seen on TV** Elmers Krazy Glue. Still in it's packet and jacket, compete in it's yellow plastic tube, sealed. Price on the sticker. £1.95.

One of the earliest Super Glues.

Any idea on the dates chaps? ;)
