Notes
This auction is for 89 original Eagle Corgi advertisements:
1) 75 x Eagle Comic adverts from July 1956-November 1963. Each one is carefully housed and dated within a neat black folder with printed date and detail above each one. They are largely in black and white (although 6 are in colour) and variously sized (mix of half page, 1/4 page, 1/5 page).
2) Second file with 14 full page ads from Eagle and Swift Comics from June 1960- March 1964. 1 14 in total, 3 of which are in colour.
Here are just 4:
With a career in graphic design, it is no surprise that this collector developed a sustained interest in period Corgi advertisements. They encapsulate so much of the enthusiasm and creative inspiration that resulted in some of the iconic Corgi models that we remember and wish to own either for the first time now as adults or buy again, and perhaps this time relive the enjoyment of owning that must-have toy from our childhood. Nothing quite captures the mood of the time like the advertisements that ignited our wish to own the latest Corgi Toys we saw in the shop window!
