Quite a novel idea, to have glove models reaching greedily towards a cheque (glove wearers are notoriously greedy, as we all know). But lets take a closer look at what's written on the cheque....
Apologies for quality of scan, but I can tell you that the cheque is made out for £75,000 by Cornucopia & Co, and dated 35th May 1984. Considering this pattern was made around the 1960s, I think some cheeky scamp was trying to blow knitters' minds. Well, mission accomplished - 35th May? Woah, man.....

There's an idea for a Mollie Makes cover!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, quite! It's all about the hands with them :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that cheque is a reference to a novel! "The 35th of May, or Conrad's Ride to the South Seas" (1931), by Erich Kastner, in which an uncle and a nephew travel to a fantasy land of plenty. It is a totally trippy wonderland of a book!!
ReplyDeleteAha - Perhaps someone is being smart and referring to that book plus Orwell's '1984' as well? I suppose you've got to get your kicks some way if you're photographing gloves!
