Mamod still very much in business in Smethwick. I suggest the big boys here look at the shop now page to view their full range. They are well known outside the UK.

Ten bob a throw in the advert. Think I'll nip out and get a couple quick!
Have extracted out details of the Mamod (edit) workshop from the Camden Street discussion to a new thread here https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/mahmods.48435/

The advert gives Malins (Engineers) Ltd as 25-31 Camden Street and they were situated there in at least 1950. Mamod appears as the name of the Model, but now the Company has become Mamod Ltd in Smethwick.
“Welcome to Official Website for Mamod, the home of British Engineering. We have been manufacturing Mamod live steam models since 1936. Based in Birmingham, Mamod continues to produce a high quality steam engines as it did when it was first established by Geoffrey Malins, right here in the West Midlands. Although the Mamod range has expanded vastly since those early years, it still produces engines with all the passion and quality engineering that was first seen during those founding years of Mamod.”
The clip gives the formation of a new Company, Malins (Engineers) Ltd, in 1939.

Looking at the first post on this thread I don't know what year it was referring to but members may be interested in this picture from 1951 of my wife visiting Father Christmas at Lewis's department store.

Tripe can still be purchased, usually only from a traditional butcher. I have not seen it in any supermarket but of course it may be available in them in some areas of the UK.

Never tried it and usually up for trying most foods, but I think I will give tripe a miss. Agreed looks most unappetising.
Wasn't there a cartoon strip character in one of the daily newspapers in the 60s centred around some tripe works, and singing the virtue's of tripe called the Fosdyke saga. Dailey Mirror or Express perhaps?

I remember tripe being a popular dish in the thirties, and forties. Quite often with onions, but my grandfather, in those days, ate it cooked in milk. If fact I also ate some tripe in those days. It was put on my plate, and I accepted it........not by choice though. Did not do me much harm.......still here !! Into more exotic foods these days.
Too much choice now, which is good, but for many a family in those far off days, tripe was an accepted part of the daily food diet.

I think that's how my mom used to cook it, tripe and onions, cooked in milk. I must have tried it, but I think it was the smell that put me off.
It did make a bit of a comeback a few years ago as a trendy gastronomic dish, but not for me.
Did anyone ever have boney pie? I was told about this when I lived in a little mining village in South Derbyshire. You place a few pork bones, a pig’s tail or a trotter on a tin plate, some water then cover it with pastry and bake it.
It sounded as if it would turn out like a pork pie with pastry, jelly and hardly any meat.

Oxtail stew. Now there was another staple of our family. Mom used to make it with a real ox tails, none of your trendy tinned stuff, and we'd sit holding them at each end, nibbling the meat off. Such haute cuisine!

Well spotted Viv. How interesting I even cook my oxtail with a mirepoix - onions, celery and carrots.
