The Story Of An Egg Box.

[Flying10uk]

When I recently rediscovered the shrapnel posted elsewhere on this forum, in the same suitcase, I also found this egg box which my father used during WW2 to transport eggs from home to school in order to bribe teachers into "letting him off" detentions. Sorry about the typos in my father's account.

Black market and bartering etc was very common in the UK during WW2 and most people were "at it", even children.
