Old Packaging

30 Oct 2020

Was looking for a replacement fuse, and found this packet in our Fuses box.

Now wondering how old it is, anyone have any ideas?

The Leeds phone number area code of 0532 probably dates it, as UK numbers begin with 01.

The acronym FEC dosen't seem to have stuck either!

This won't help you, because there are no dates on them, but it gives an idea of how the logo developed. The FEC branding lasted quite a long time.

The top left bag was probably late 1980s and predates it. Top right, early to mid 1990s, I would think.

The FEC logo (and old number) was on the 1982 catalogue according to this photo:

I seem to recall that packaging in use around the late 80's, but likewise it may have been old stock.
