Not actually sure what they're worth, more I paid for them no doubt! The Brocks box cost me £10, and the Pains boxes were £20 each, Grand Total £50! Good times indeed!! In all seriosness though, if anyone does know what they're worth i would be interested to know. They are NOT for sale though, so don't try and tell me they're worth £30 tops!!

That would be telling!

Its an old Japanese Daylight Shell. It has a giraffe in it that would open out and float down. They were very pretty apparently.

I remember seeing a display case with lots of these daylight shells and some of the contents hung up on show at the Maurice and Steve Firework Museum when it was on show at the Gunpowder Mills.

Here are a couple of links to pics

A dismantled shell showing the 6 foot tall hen that would have floated down

(I won't post the pics themselves so as to encourage you to visit the rest of the Fireworks Museum site)
