Old lump wrappers added
Sixty old lump wrappers have been added to the SUGARCAT database. These were all produced by French producers Bouchon and StLouis although they were all for UK outlets and therefore included in the UK packets databse.

Lump Wrappers
Over the last few days nearly 200 packets have been added to the SUGARCAT databse. Most of these are scans of lump wrappers from Pam Miller’s collection. This is in addition to more than 100 lump wrappers added in November. See the “Added” page for a list of the batches of additions and links to show each.
When lump wrappers have been added the Tate and Lyle numbers list has also been updated. The master version of this list is compiled by Pam Miller but it is hoped that the online list is consistent with it. There 1,501 numbers which are known and 1,262 of these can be seen on the database. We do not know the wrappers for 1,077 other numbers though some of these must be wrappers on the database but with no number printed on them. In total there are 2,005 Tate and Lyle lump wrappers on the database.

The new finds packets have been added to the database and the new finds database has also been updated.
One new set has ben noted which has been added to the sets list.
As indicated in other updates a large number of Tate and Lyle wrappers have been added to the database and wrapper numbers list. Some of these are reported on in the newsletter.
Don’t forget that as new finds arrive they are added to the New Finds blog. (Although this can take a couple of weeks.)
Tate and Lyle lump wrappers
I have finished adding to the website a large numbe of Tate and Lyle wrappers. These came from the collection of the late Joan Pick and were scanned by Don Collishaw.
In total there were 835 wrappers more than doubling the the number of wrappers on the SUGARCAT database. There are now over 12,000 packets on the database.
A large number of these wrappers have reference numbers on and were listed as “missing” on the online version of Pam Millers list of T&L design numbers. The list has been updated such that there are now more known than missing, although I will need to check the online list against Pam’s verions once she had finsihed upating it.
To access the database and wrappers list you need to be a member.
