Weco fireworks

[Pyrotechnic]

If you've ever bought a Weco selection box from Aldi or Lidl, then take a look at this Weco catalogue from 1987!

Recognise them?


Also there's some strange stuff. Like how they named a firework 'Sex'.

Would you imagine seeing a pack of these in your firework shop?

Thought not but they look amazing.

RE: Weco

I can remember weco rockets arriving in my childhood pyro shop.1981-84ish.They were quiet a beast having a flash opened burst.A new era had begun..Happy days

The original Esco fireworks had a whole range of rockets and other things from Weco and they were fantastic!,who remembers the Turbo Salut and Shrieking rockets?,nothing made a noise like those two,it was deafening!,they made some huge rockets too,there was a whole range of them.

I remember the little wild geese rocket which sounded more like a strangled cat.And the Ammo store air bomb's The esco gear was good and cheap aye.
