Phone Mr A. Bromley, Ringwood (0425) 476660 or write 22 Gravel Lane, Ringwood, Hants BH24 1LNMariner doesn't just promise reliability.

It proves it! If you're considering buying an outboard, whatever the size, you'll have noticed that almost every manufacturer promises greater reliability as an important reason for selecting their engine instead of someone else's! At Mariner, we prefer to deal in proof, not promises. That's why you may be interested to know that after a stringent, length}' and punishing programme ot engine evaluation, the RN'LI have chosen Mariner power.

Why;' Because the one thing their fleet of inflatable rescue boats mutt have above all else, is ultimate engine reliability — and as their test programme proved, Mariner has it! OUTBOARDS M COLLECTABLES, „ RNLICOLLECTABLES, „ RNLI ( OGDEN'S CIGARETTES CREATHEAD'S UFE-BOAT ATSEA Through the media everyone is now more aware of the value of a large number of items which fall under the heading of 'COLLECTABLES'.

Over the years the RNLI has raised considerable sums of money through such donations. Below are items which can be used by the RNLI to raise funds to further its work of saving life at sea.

STAMPS, ALBUMS, USED POSTAGE & TRADING STAMPS Raising thousands of pounds each year, supporters have donated their collections, usually in stamp albums. Used postage stamps are sold by various means and trading stamps are redeemed for cash.

JEWELLERY Unwanted or broken jewellery, silver antique spoons, and small objet d'art have raised, over the past years, a very creditable sum.

WAR MEDALS & DECORATIONS There are avid collectors of medals which are particularly valuable if the citation is also included.

COINS Foreign - When returning from abroad, coins and paper currency can collectively be put to very good use.

British - There is also great value in old English/pre decimal coins.

AUTOGRAPHS These are most collectable and raise good money when sold at auctions etc.

PETROL VOUCHERS The collection of BP Option Vouchers has provided four Rescusci Ann Torsos. These torsos are used to train the lifeboat crews in the method of resuscitation.

VICTORIAN LACE MAKING BOBBINS & THIMBLES All highly collectable.

OLD MECHANICAL TOYS, DINKY TOYS, TEDDY BEARS, CHINA DOLLS These items are in great demand by collectors.

PRE-WAR WATCHES These, particularly if gold or silver, can raise valuable funds even if they are not in working order.

POSTCARDS & CIGARETTE CARDS These items are most welcome. The older they are the better although more modern ones are also acceptable.

PHONECARDS A new hobby has emerged in the collection of the special phonecards being produced and collectors abound. Should you be using these special phonecards then please do consider forwarding them to the RNLI.

For more information please contact: Central fundraising, KNL1, West Quay Road, Poole, Dorset BH15 1HZ. Tel: 0202 671133 The R.N.L.I, is completely financed by voluntary contributions.
