Before the decimilisation of 1971 the British pound was divided into 20 shillings, each worth 12 pence, creating a total value of 240 pence. This was written as £1 1/1d. / was the symbol for a shilling and called a solidus (the latin coin a shilling is named after) and the d is short for denarius. The reason for this was that in the dark ages a penny was made of silver. To make sure every penny was worth the same, a pound of silver was divided into 240 equally sized pennies. Centuries later inflation had reduced the value of the penny until it was made of copper, and there was sufficient gold that a few people could afford to use gold coins worth a whole pound of silver. This is how Britain ended up with such an insane system of money. The bank of England tried to decimalise the currency several times, but it only gained sufficient traction to change the currency after WW2. The new pound was worth the same as an old pound, which is why you sometimes get people old enough to remember the transition saying "A shilling is 5p". What they mean is that an old shilling is worth five of the new pence, even though a shilling is worth 20d, old pence.

Don't know about in the UK, but in the USA in the 60s and 70s comic books would have ad pages in exactly this format, advertising the same kinds of novelties. I think there is something magical about the fact that you really had almost no idea what any of this stuff actually was, just cryptic descriptions and inaccurate drawings.

Bauhauskiddo Ashens has done videos on the 'excitement' of indoor fireworks.. The 'exploder' mechanism is just a cap mechanism, they make a loud but somehow very underwhelming bang. You can still buy them even today on ebay or amazon (lookup roll caps) and I'm sure their just as cheap and nasty as they were back in the day.. :D

This reminds me of reading Boy's Life magazine as a kid. In short it was the official Boy Scouts of America magazine. Every issue had a page exactly like this catalog. Keep in mind, I read this in the early to mid 90s. It was always the same things such as the whoopee cushion, lucky dice, and other crap like that. The only thing I always remember was this insane kit to turn a vacuum cleaner into a personal hovercraft. I would love to see if those things actually worked...

Why was Six afraid of Seven? Because last year Six had a torrid love affair with Four lasting for many months. Soon into the relationship Six and Four fell in love, but Six knew she could never leave Seven because she was afraid of his violent past. One cold Autumn night Six came home in tears and locked herself in the bathroom. By this time Seven was already drunk and pounded on the door demanding to be let in. Eventually Seven's rage took over and he kicked the door down with a powerful roundhouse to find Six standing there holding a positive pregnancy test. Seven knew he couldn't be the father because he was sterile from years of working at a nuclear plant. Seven saw red and flew into a whirlwind of fury beating upon Six with hammering blows. She screamed "FOUR, IT'S FOUR'S CHILD, PLEASE! PLEASE STOP!" Seven stared at Six in disbelief, "Four? That good for nothing Even aint even a Prime!" Seven stormed out of the bathroom and out the front door, grabbing his pistol off of the table on his way out. He floored it to the restaurant Four owned like a demon. Pulling up to Four's eatery, All You Can Eight, Seven threw open the door demanding to speak with him. A young girl named Decimal tried to cover for Four, but Seven spotted him trying to sneak out through the kitchen. Seven grabbed Four by the digit and pulled out his .38. Four begged "Please, I love her! Please, if you truly love her too you will let her go, please!" Without hesitation Seven pulled the trigger. The sound echoed throughout the restaurant like a thunder strike. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then full panic, numbers running everywhere, stampeding over each other. Stomping over Four's lifeless body and in the panic Seven slipped out with the crowd and made his escape. Since that day Six has moved and changed her name but knows one day Seven will track her down and find her, and she lives in constant fear for her life and the life of her newborn son, Ten. And now you know why Six is afraid of Seven.

The back page on each comic was crammed full of ads for schoolboy prank items and I read through each one, fascinated, during the long drive back to the North East. They were marketed as toys and novelties at pocket money prices.

Omigosh, this reminds me of the old ads in comic books from a company that was based in Florida (I think) called Smith Johnson. They sold the craziest joke items. I bought a few later on, I remember owning a plastic hammer that made the sound of shattering glass when smacked, and a toy toilet that spit water when you opened the lid lol As a kid, I ordered a plastic Frankenstein's monster poster with glowing eye (dots) and it was interesting, but not that scary.

Weirdly enough I've heard of Ellisons before. Remember catching an antiques hunter type show once where they went into the Ellisons' store - the place has been running since the late 1800's and was still being run by the owners grandson or something like that.

Not entirely, I just hunted around wikipedia to figure this out myself. A shilling wasn't equal to 100 pence so a decimal wouldn't really work, but you've got the right idea. The hyphen just meant it was an even shilling. It was 12d to a shilling, so it just had to be noted.
