Great finds Michelle, well done! Although I think the wellies for your little lad are going to be the most useful given the current weather!!!

Of all those pieces, at the time of manufacture and original retail, the Baccarat mustard pot, lid and spoon was probably the most expensive.
We could never sell them back in the 70's because they were too highly priced - something like £87.50 if I remember correctly! We used to retail Baccarat and only ever bought one of those. In fact I'm not even sure whether we ever managed to sell the only one we bought, although I can't remember what happened to it. A good example of something really superb at the wrong price.
Probably has no bearing on the values now, though, but a definite bargain at £5!
