The Brighton "premiership" flag brings back memories as most VFA clubs in the 1940s to early 1960s had these made when they won a flag.There should be lots floating around still.
Might be tempted to get these on ebay.
Oakleigh had a similar one on ebay to Brighton's a few weeks back.
The old membership tickets are certainly relics. Priceless memoribilia.

I had boxes of VFA recorders dating back to the early 1950s and old membership tickets but during one of my wifes spring cleans she threw them out thinking they were useless junk. Oh well such is life!
I have quite a few annual reports from the various clubs as well as VFA ones. Plenty of old recorders as well from the 70s onwards. Have also got some recorders from the 60s and 50s from the various sources over the years.
Really collect anything from the old VFA. Main focus over the past few years has been getting old footage. Just a crying shame that today's technology was not around in the 60s and 70s. Imagine watching some of the old VFA games that were televised in the halcyon years right up to the early 80s.
Video recorders were pretty scarce until the mid 80s. Some had the old Beta machines in the 70s and Umatic machine were used prior to beta.
You will find some VFA games located at Mahoney's Road Oval Nunawading that was used for land fill. Rumour has it in the early 80s the old tapes were dumped and used as land fill. The earlier and obscure games from the late 60s and early 70s were taped over. Shame as these would be priceless piece of history.

That would be because CH 10 HQ and studios in those days was at Nunawading.

Surely you would think that the AFL/VL could look at purchasing these classic pieces of history to include in some type of VFA museum, !!

Pretty sure you're not alone there Billy, my dad had a great collection of Camberwell stuff that his mum threw out during a clean-up.
