MAURICE AND STEVE'S
VIRTUAL FIREWORK MUSEUM
GALLERY FIVE
INDIAN and ASIAN FIREWORK ART
These posters and point of sales artworks are rather fantastic...see how the colours glow. I am a little unsure but I think that a few are actually wraps from the fireworks themselves. All come from the Indian firm of Sri Kaliswari Fireworks, 5-A, Chairman A, Shunmuga Nadar Road, Sivakasi, 626 123, Tamilnadu, India....to whom thanks are due in the days before this firework museum was conceived.
All items are "COCK" Brand
Magic Mountain Mighty Atom Flower Bomb
Akash Maalika.....parachute chain or garland device
STANDARD FIREWORKS OF INDIA - all items are "Peacock Brand"
thanks to Tom M. of New Jersey, USA for these

if you can think of it, next time you have a pyro-fest, please keep a few of the empty boxes (flat pack them), labels, wrappers, and any dead, fired, inert or even slightly toasted items, novelties, toys, flyers, posters and point of sale material, and rockets minus stick - just two or three - put in a packet, mark as toys and empty tubes for customs, and mail SURFACE mail, with a note inside saying that contents are dead or empty, - to
Maurice and Steve's Virtual Firework Museum, 7, WOODLANDS LANE, MANOR PARK, PLYMOUTH, PL6 8AS, DEVON, ENGLAND
With the passing of British Standard fireworks to Black Cat in early 1998, we have lost our once proud firework heritage, do not lose yours, keep a few of everything when used - .and send a few to us, shipping refunded. Thank you
