St Erik's Fair, Stockholm - 1962

[Mark_Ellis]

Does "St Erik's Fair, Stockholm" mean anything to anybody.
This is back in 1962, and I guess was either a military vehicle display for the public, or motor show of some sort?

 

I wondered if there's any photo albums or film clips of the event at all?

Many thanks

S:t Eriksmässan was an ordinary fair for consumer products, nowadays called "Stockholmsmässan", i.e the fair company that ever mayor city has.'

 

S:t Erik was a king during the 12th century, used as a trademark for Stockholm

@JDW I was hoping to find a catalogue or article on the vehicles displayed in 1962. Would be nice to know which one it was

Maybe somewhere, but as far as i can google, it was an open fair with a broad scope.

It wasn't any problem to contact them in Swedish, and the book where available before the "timeout" of the forum. You ca  try gain with the following phrase om the Ställ en fråga om artikeln:  link

Hej

Jag är intresserad av att köpa boken, men kan ni vänligen skicka till mig i England? Vad blir i så fall fraktkostnaden

 

 

 

Swedish Postal office offer post & package outside EU for appr 250SEK (depending on size, max 2kg). I havent tried DHL or other options.

 

National freight cost additional 62SEK if you need help with a decoy

 JDW hi,

I used that very same message box to ask my question 😉

 

If I bought every book that I want to check and see if it has any relevant photos inside, I would have no room in my house to sit and work on my project 🤣

Hej Mark!
Tack för din förfrågan. Hela katalogen är mycket sparsamt illustrerad. Det som finns är annonser, men inte på fordon vad jag har sett vid en genombläddring.

Hi Mark!
Thanks for your inquiry. The entire catalogue is very sparsely illustrated. What there are are ads, but not on vehicles as far as I've seen when browsing.

So that's a dead end

It's what I thought. But Google is better than nothing
