Cono Confectionery Products (London) Ltd were based in Regent Street, London. They are no longer there and their premises, plus next door, are now occupied by a cafe, Caffe Concerto. It is a very plushy address for a sweet maker.
Como seemed to have managed a tie in with lots of television programmes, issuing two sets on Gerry Anderson`s Fireball XL5, one featuring Lenny the Lion, and five with Noddy, one of which we featured as the card of the day back in March. There was also more than one with Sooty, "Sooty`s Adventures", our set "Sooty`s New Adventures - A Second Series", and "Sooty`s Latest Adventures - A 3rd Series". Each were of fifty cards.
Our set is described in our original British Trade Index part II as
SOOTY`S NEW ADVENTURES - A SECOND SERIES. Md. 64 x 64. Nd, (50)
However in our updated version it reads
SOOTY`S NEW ADVENTURES - A SECOND SERIES. 1961. 64 x 64. Nd, (50)
1. "1st Series" 1/25
2. "2nd Series" 26/50
