Sherdley ad: AHW designed Slim Jims, Chubbies, Merrymaker

<< < (2/5) > >>

Anne:
Heidi, I don't like hankie vases either (except for the ruby intaglio one that is!) but don't tell David!  :wink:

Welcome to the board - I find the AHW designs quite fascinating although I don't own any (yet! - as far as I know).

David E:
Heidi: you might also like to follow this thread, if you hadn't already spotted it:

Heidimin:
Thanks, interesting. So the advert on the top of this thread was placed by Johnsen & Jorgensen, rather than by Sherdley? Unfortunately I can't read the smaller print on it.

David E:
That's right. I'd have to go through my records, but J&J would appear to have been advertising from the late-1930s as Sherdley's sole UK distributor. I'm not sure whether they also controlled the export market as well, but it is possible.

However, if you click on the larger photo within Anne's Glass Gallery, this will open up a larger photo and you can just about read the smaller print  - wasn't sure you were aware of this.

Heidimin:
Doh - thank you! Not only can I read the small print, but I can see the designs properly too. So now I have a "designed before" date for two of my sets.

And I've just had an e-mail from Broadfield House telling me they're sending me a copy of the "Slim Jims and Tubbies" leaflet free of charge.

What nice people glass collectors are!
