Why the pixelated name and address? This one was sent 69 years ago! I don't think the recipient would mind

Sherro, it's addressed to my husbands surname, other relatives have an interest in the collection (deceased estate) & might not like me posting photos on the net.

Here's another nice advertising cover - a little later than most pictured so far yet still an attractive item. The reverse ensures their high-class service at a moderate tariff!

With the price of gas they may get back in business!

Actually, crude oil was discovered in Petrolea, a small town in southwestern Ontario, back around 1850.

Here is one I unearthed yesterday. From 1931 advertising the booksellers Angus and Robertson. The cover is a bit tatty but the stamp has a matching A + R perfin .

Stampdog,

Very nice. Its great to have private perfins with matching covers. Adds to the authenticity I think.

The stamps are dead common, Hyderabad SG 42 and 44, but this registered cover is from Lingsugur, which must have been little more than a village in 1933 when this cover was sent. (In 2001 it had a population of 27,000.) Lovely clean CDSs of Lingsugur and Raichur, and a low registration number, 72. (How many registered letters from Lingsugur didn't originate from the Hyderabad Hides & Skins Tanneries, I wonder.)

It has been a while so I thought I'll see if I can get the 'advertising thread' rattling along once more.

Below, one very atttractive advertising cover sent to Western Germany 15 Jul 1970

Maybe a shaving mug just for you.

And the prize goes to Mark :?:

While resizing images I noticed the question by Glen and decided a diversion was in order. What follows is an extract from http://www.beith.org/modules/smartsecti ... p?itemid=8 and I found it to be both informative and entertaining.

Anyway the quote gives the full answer -

When I came home at night I'd hurry up and go to Shearer the Barber. He had a shop in Eglinton Street in front of McKissock's pub. I worked there every Saturday morning starting at 9 o'clock as the soap boy after I'd finished the milk round. In those days a lot of the men would go into the barber's shop for a shave and my job was to lather their faces with a soap bar. I worked as a soap boy with Shearer for about two years.

It was a fascinating wee shop. It had an open coal fire. Above the fireplace there were rows of shaving pots. These belonged to some of the men. There were private pots for those who wanted shaves and you had to remember all their numbers on the mugs and the brushes so that you knew when this man came in that he was number seven. When his shave was finished you had to wash his pot and brush and put it back in its place. But those who didn't have a private pot just got an ordinary mug and soap that was used by anyone coming in.

It cost 3d for a shave and the men -who had special pots got the benefit that nobody else was using their graith.


Shearer the Barber used an open razor to shave the men and it was 8 o'clock on a Saturday night before you got finished and ,through the week, I was there from 4 o'clock till half past seven. Shearer was a bit of a character. He was always smoking a pipe and blethering away to the customers about football and what was happening about the town. I was glad when somebody came in for a haircut because you got a ten minute break. It was sore on the arms doing the soap and I was only a boy.

In the summer time when it was quiet, Shearer would say, "Away and see how the rest are doing." So I would have to go round the barbers' in the town and see how many customers they had in. I would come back and tell him there were four in Clarks' and three in Grants'. And he'd say, "Dear, dear, dear, dear, nobody in here." He was an awful man. It would take him ten minutes to fill his pipe and he would get a big paper and stick it in the fire and he would stand and make punking noises and it wouldn't light and he'd hit it with his hand and eventually get the pipe going.

I always remember Alex Craig. He was another character - a bit of a wag and he used to be sitting and Shearer would spit from the chair into the fire and it would ping off the kettle. And Alex says, "Careful noo, you'll put the fire oot wae yins like that." But Shearer was up to him and would say, "Whose fire is it, mine or yours?"

The front of this cover mailed from Louisville to Millerstown, Kentucky, bears a copy of U.S. Scott No. 527 (2¢ Type V), but it isn't really much to look at. The back, however, is impressive.

Image

Image

"Nineteenth Annual Kentucky State Fair / Sept. 11-17, 1921 / Louisville / $110,000.00 in Premiums"

The tiny print at bottom center indicates this cover promoting the fair was printed by "Courier Journal Lith. Louisville."

Not really my collecting area, so I'll be listing this in the Selling forum shortly.

Great cover Seapaw. Nice advert covers are uncommon from the 1970's onwards. I guess they "had their day".

Awesome Covers everyone! :D
I love all the Roo ones (ofcourse!) But the others are nice too.
I really like the Tennis one also, im a big fan.

Here is one of mine; Does anyone know if this stamp shop still exists?
Also note the date; 1949 for a Roo, getting late on in the years!
Very Philatelic cover with the OS too?

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the additional info, nice to see Laura Hotel Picture this adds social interest to my album page.
And we have Arrow to thank for Cricket's coloured clothing 40 years before it was used,that's what i called advance planning.
I will do some more covers later

A nice cover IMHO. (at least he franking)

Joining their ranks was Page Publications, a company that, although never achieving the same level of 'brand recognition' enjoyed by its competitors, remained a significant comics' publisher for nearly thirty years.

The company's roots can be traced back to the Yaffa Syndicate, founded by David Yaffa in 1928 to distribute editorial content from America's King Features Syndicate to the local newspaper and magazine market.

Comics soon became an integral part of the Yaffa Syndicate's product range. The company was responsible for introducing Australian audiences to some of the best American comic strips of the 1930s, including Mandrake the Magician and The Phantom, which became successful features in The Australian Women's Weekly and The Australian Woman's Mirror, respectively.

Hi Seapaw
i'm interested in the grace bros cover. i actually purchased it on ebay along with 4 other advertising covers, including a wonderful Hills Hoists cover, BUT, they never arrived and it is the only bad ebay experience i've had. Just curious, and notwithstanding the damaged stamps a nice cover.
