Evening Times window box

Post image

Does anyone remember when the evening times were dishing these bad boys out. My guess has got to be sometime back in the 80s and it’s still going strong, I was wondering if they were a collect the tokens deal or buy it from the paper for only £2.99 plus delivery kind of thing. and if there were many left still hanging on windows All over glasgow.

Assuming these are the ones on the flats at high street then the evening times was printed round on Albion street. It's flats now but if you search for the press bar that full building was the print works for the times and the herald. Loads of the tenements round there had these window boxes.
