Having grown up in the 70s & 80s, this week’s Auction Alert really triggered some childhood memories for me. The upcoming TV and Film-related sale takes place on Tuesday 28th March 28 2023 from 10am. It’s being held by Vectis Auctions Ltd who are located in Stockton on Tees.
Almost all my movie and TV viewing from that era has come back to life; Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, Happy Days, Charlie’s Angels, Little House on the Prairie, Kojak, The A-Team, Dukes of Hazard, Space 1999, Star Wars, Star Trek.
I remember the little girl crushes I had on Erik Estrada from Chips and Paul Michael Glazer from Starsky & Hutch. I wanted to be Farrah Fawcett, I especially wanted her long, blonde hair. I had a series of metal lunch kits (with matching vacuum flasks) that I took my food & drink to school in – mostly Disney character ones, I think. These have now become highly collectable.
Saying all this, the sale includes lots of other memorabilia from the 90s, noughties and the new millennium – I’ve just chosen to reminisce about my youth below!
