    Sorry I'm late to this tread (Been moving home) but I have just unpacked my stash of picnic Hampers ( I know I know) I have the blue and grey version of the OP's set and have just looked inside it is still in its original cellophane wrapping, never ever had a buttie in it, the plates however have the ubiquitious "knife and fork" pattern from the early seventies (I can remember that stuff on the formica of the day) It is made by "Brexton" BTW.
    I also have an older "Sirram" that is nice with cream tins and little glass salt and pepper pots and proper plates and cups and saucers, this one apparaently was made to fit the boot of expensive cars of the era - Dunno though.

    The third is made by "Isovac" and the cups and plates are in a hard blue plastic and the milk jars etc have a similar cream coloured tops, it does have 3 original vacuum flasks though but overall it is tatty.

    The Sirram one does have happy memories of when I was courting (or troth plighting - it was a loooooonnnnnnng time ago) when we used it to eat salmon butties and drink Bucks Fizz in Matlock Bath (See us Midlanders do know how to live) Should I hang on to them or get rid????

    I'd hang onto the one your most likely to use, or the prettist if not likey to use any, & put the rest up on ebay...there seems to be a lot of interest at the mo...can't imagine why:o
