Not a great photo today I know (it was part of a job lot of Eagle stuff at The Saleroom and there was only one image, grrrr) BUT this is a rare item that I just couldn't let the opportunity pass me by to add it to this listing. The kite (plus a few Eagle annuals) sold for £25 (+ fees)

...and now it'd the turn of Dan Dare secret ink! Currently available here on ebay

The 'blurb' on the outside of the tin says...

SECRET INK

Made exclusively for

Dan Dare code writer

fountain pen

There was an advert for the 'Dan Dare spaceship fountain pen' in Eagle issue 28/8/53 [volume 4, #21] in Eagle window #109. I guess this ink tin came as part of that set. 

Lion club

Just a shout-out for ace ebay seller philcomics - a finder of ace comics stuff, well worth a follow. Here's an interesting item from a recent sale (for £20) it's related to the Lion club. 

I've looked at Lion comic plenty of times in the past (here) but never with a focus on Lion club. 

I know that for the Hulton titles (Eagle, Girl, Robin & Swift) there was plenty of ephemera produced by their respective clubs but I'm not sure what else Lion club collectors could look out for. The loop on the bottom of the badge makes me that, like Eagle club, there was 'room' on the badge for something to indicate that if you were a member of the club for 2, 3 or 4 years there you'd get something to attach to your original badge. They were stars on Eagle club badges (see below).
