Each album is embossed with “The NOSTALGIA Album” in a decorative gold script. The albums contain multiple clear plastic protector sleeves, arranged as multi-pocket pages, which are filled with numerous small rectangular paper collector’s cards. The cards feature diverse subjects including historical portraits, architectural designs, landscapes, natural wonders, British costumes, racing cars, and various pictorial scenes. Many cards prominently display “Brooke Bond Tea” branding and indicate series names such as “WONDERS OF LIFE” and “BRITISH COSTUME,” often noting “A SERIES OF 50” with individual card numbers. Specific cards visible include a “1966 WORLD CUP SOUVENIR” from Brooke Bond Tea and “MUSGRAVE Brooke Bond ‘MATCH-MAKER’ GIFT CARD,” indicating a mid-20th century period for the collection.
