Cottonseed Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 When I were a lad every other souvenir shop on the Golden Mile at Blackpool sold these. You could get them from two inches long to versions bigger than the one in the posted picture. How times change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
