The "Golden Studs" promotion was a mail-in offer that ran in the UK from
1974 to 1976. Each set bought contained one or more Golden Studs stickers,
dependant on value.
In 1974, you would get 2 studs in sets selling for under a Pound, 4 studs in
sets up to 2GBP, 6 studs in sets up to 4GBP, and 10 studs in larger sets! 8
studs would get you a mum figure from set 200 (worth 30p at the time!), 16
studs would get you mum and the two kids (worth 65p), while 24 would get you
a complete set worth 1.25GBP. See

In 1975, the number of studs on offer was less: 2 studs in sets up to 2GBP;
4 studs in sets up to 4GBP; 6 for up to 6GBP and 10 studs for anything else.
The promotion changed that year to: 8 studs for 20 red and white 8-stud
bricks (worth 30p); 16 studs for 20 bricks plus 4 large red spoked wheels
with tyres and bearing bricks (worth 65p); and 24 studs for the
aforementioned plus opening doors, windows and shutters worth 1.25GBP. See
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1975/c75uk/c75uk-16.html
In 1976, you would get 1 stud in sets under a Pound up to a maximum of 6
studs in sets costing over 5GBP. The offer was the same as in the previous
year, but the gifts were valued at 35p, 75p and 1.45GBP respectively. See
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1976/c76uk/c76uk-16.html
IIRC, the Golden Stud sticker sheets were all the same size with 2 peel-off
stickers. Each sticker contained none, one ore two studs with blank 'studs'
blacked out (I don't have any to refer to, and a Google search returns
nothing!).
HTH :-)

| Jon, Anyone who knows that much about Golden Studs is dangerously close to 'needing to get out more'. ;-) Good post though mate. Bif (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.uk)
