Vintage Technology: Bric-a-brac Alba Radio and Television Promotional Cards

		Item:	Alba (Television and Radio) Ltd., Diamond Jubilee promotional deck of playing cards from 1977.
		Dimensions:	Boxed and including original shrink-wrap: 91.7mm x 60.3mm x 17.6mm (h x w x d). Weight: 96g
		Details:	52+2 standard format playing cards with plastic wrap sealing the deck. Plain box with extra card stuck on the front to identify the pack.
		Age:	1977
		Comments:	Nice promotional item celebrating 60 years of Alba Radio (and later Television) products. I have never seen such a promo item before and by the look of it - it is a pretty standard generic promotional item. I would love to know who else in 1977 used this company to produce promo-cards - the picture of the Joker should help.
