The blue badge says 'Emergency - Medi-Tek' with a medic symbol in the middle.

The box was filled with empty crushed 250ml water bottles - presumably to give it some weight. All hi-tech stuff!

Awesome pics! Thanks! What's that little symbol next to the med tek lettering?


It's a funny combination of two symbols. It primarily seems to feature the solitary snake and stick make-up of the traditional symbol for medicine, The Staff of Asclepius (not to be confused with The Caduceus of Mercury which has mistakenly been adopted for the symbol of medicine by many organizations for donkey's years) flanked by what look like two wings, which is usually a feature of the said caduceus - a symbol that also features two snakes instead of one.








The Staff of Asclepius



The Caduceus of Mercury

Ah that makes sense,
I thought it was being used as a very fancy place to store your recycling Mr Buttonman.  :)

That jacket/uniform is really lovely...

Well, it's been a great two weeks but now it's time for me and the medi-tek box to part company. In my heart of hearts I know it wouldn't be afforded front room status for long, and as its next stop is the attic I thought I'd give someone the chance to love it as I have (not literally).

With a 99p start a bargain is to be had!

What did you pay for it BM???

Buttonman

Many, many pounds.

Actually, what I thought to be a cheap £56 + £15 P&P - not expecting a big profit, if I get my money back the treasured memories are free!

Link Prime

So not too bad actually.
You'd think at your age you'd have better control over that impulse-bid 'Dark Passenger'!

Buttonman

To be honest I just wanted to see what a win looked like in the whole packaging & cerification sense and the handling of something used in the film. Once that was all done it's just gathering dust. Even if I lose £55 (99p bid in!) it will still have been a worthwhile bit of fun.

Link Prime

Nice outlook.
Hope you get a decent price for it!
