Brian's collection includes many empty packages advertising wares from days gone by. He suspects this box of quoits, made in Australia by Winna, is from the 1930s. 'There's nothing inside this box but then it's the packaging that's often the most valuable thing', Brian said. "A box in good condition can sometimes double or triple the price.'
