2. Lego Bricks?

4. Would this not be the poster of Che Guevara?(the Mona Lisa was produced considerably earlier)

[NazNomad]

Mona Lisa was early 1500's, so it's not that.

[NazNomad]

Lego produces 20 Billion bricks per year, so that might not be #2 either.

4 - the portrait of queen elizabeth ii on stamps

[Prudie]

Reckon the portrait is Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe

2 this site http://gizmodo.com/50...ed-to-know-about-lego says that a total of 400 billion lego bricks have been made since 1958; they surely can't all still exist so 220 billion might not be a bad estimate

3 the barcode one - according to the interweb - is a Bob the Builder Drilling Beach towel ???

[Trussell]

Thank you all very much - so far! Lego quite likely.

Was the queen not on stamps in 1953 ie earlier?

3. If you can't find this on the internet ask a supermarket checkout operator to key the number into a till - it will identify the product.

1 ring pulls on cans

[boxtops]

another internet site says that the barcode is Walker's Smoky Bacon crisps - but I don't know what the competition was - you could be right, Trussell!

[auntflo]

the queen was on stamps earlier, but that portrait was done in 1967

[Trussell]

Thank you all Very, very much indeed. Still no further on no.1

[auntflo]

[Trussell]

Thank you very much auntflo - I missed your answer the first time. Apologies, I was too reading the answers too fast.
