Penknife advert from 1906
on: May 26, 2014, 05:13:43 PM
This advert appeared in an Irish newspaper in January 1906.
A Sheffield cutler was trying to drum up some Irish business.



I love how contemporary the penknife looks.

That's a pretty neat old ad.  :tu:  Faugh-A-Ballagh is probably Gaelic for "Cut an Englishman's throat" though......  ::)
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D
