PIC MIKE WALKER, MIKE WALKER PICTURES ERASERS Hannah Walker can never be accused of rubbing her relatives up the wrong way after her Auntie Ally discovered a huge haul of 1,500 rubbers, many of them still in their original wrappers, in her loft. Hannah, seven, had just started a collection of her own when Allison Walker, 41, found two suitcases full of them undisturbed in for up to 30 years. The fascinating collection includes erasers in the shape of a whole variety of objects including packets of Tide, Surf and Fairy Liquid and others commemorating the 1986 World Cup, Cabbage Patch kids and others several that were made to coincide with television classis such as Brideshead revisited and the A Team. Hannah now has her hands on Allison’s collection, which also includes every-day appliances like ‘phone boxes and a television set and even a film projector with others bought for her from all over the World and which could be worth up to 2,000 pounds.

Those still in their covering are worth most. ‘’ We have looked on eBay and there are plenty worth five and ten pounds.

She said she might have some at home and it was then that she dusted off the suitcases full of them. ‘’The aim now is to make the collection even bigger. Perhaps Auntie Ally will help me a
