Description:
This eye-catching vintage 1923 advertising print features two iconic British products of the era, brilliantly illustrated in classic monochrome style:

• Turnwright’s Toffee De-Light – Described as a sweet treat for all ages, this popular toffee is “Sold in daintily wrapped pieces and in tins,” and was distributed by Turnwright’s of York. The playful silhouettes of children dancing and playing add whimsy and charm to the design.

• Blackbird Self-Filler Fountain Pen – Manufactured by Mabie, Todd & Co. Ltd., this pen is marketed as “the most simple, reliable self-filling pen yet offered for 7/6.” Praised for its ease of use and leak-proof design, the ad targets both everyday users and stationers alike.

Expertly mounted on black cardboard and measuring approximately 14 x 22 cm, this dual advert is ideal for collectors of early 20th-century advertising, British confectionery history, or vintage writing instruments.

Publisher:
Originally published in My Magazine in 1923, a respected British periodical known for showcasing high-quality editorial content and leading commercial advertisements.
