Just an idea in case you don't get the one on ebay, but you can buy replica ones of these.I've seen them in one of our local museums.

Mummyslittleboy, I have gotten those "luggage tags" before in proper office stationary stores - rather than general stationary stores. If you look in stores that seem to be dealing with businesses, they might have them.

I am making progress with a good few OS type presents, and the growing of the veg for the dinner. But I want to plant a few carrots in the garden to add to the mix - I hope to get the pot I need emptied and refilled this week. And I must blanche a few bags of french beans, so that I can keep at least one serving for Xmas. This week should also see lots of progress on crafting (mostly sewing, but some cards too) as I am taking a few days off while DD starts school.
