Happy 1956.................

Getting into the party spirit, this from the January 1956 issue of Beautiful Britons, which would have been on sale as I was being born..........

A happy 2013 to all who have looked in on this blog over the past year.

Toys for 1960s boys

A few adverts that appeared amongst December issues of Meccano Magazine, during the 1960s;

And for older boys in 1968....................

Yardley by Emett

I don't think that Rowland Emett produced many drawings for advertisements. This is the only one that I have come across so far, for Yardley lavender products, that appeared in the 6 December 1958 issue of Picturegoer magazine, drawn in his typically whimsical style. Shades of the Far Tottering and Oystercreek Railway here!
