Looks like a nice Polly collection. I CAN make out that they are matchbooks, but... can you post a bigger pic?

Budgie? (I had to look up budgie, on the 'net)

Fred are you part Australian as well as "part Canadian Eskimo"? Eh?

Looks good the "little" I can see.

Budgie is a common word in Canada.

Cool!... how many different versions do you have there?

I have three Polly matchbooks- one green and two black covers, like what you have. Never compared/held the two black ones together, thought they were all the same. Nope... different Parrots and wording.

There are 3 different styles that I have. I will post a pic later of the 3 side by side. I was curious if they changed through the years or just different printing companies???

The skinny Parrot is an eariler booklet, the fatter Parrot is older towards the end of Polly.
