Notes
This auction is for 94 original Victor Corgi advertisements meticulously catalogued over 2 files with dates:
1)1st File 48 x Victor Comic adverts from January 1964- January 19678. Each one is carefully housed and dated within a neat black folder with printed date and detail above each one. They are in black and white and variously sized (mix of full, half page).
2) 2nd file with 48 Victor Comic adverts from February 1968 – November 1970. Mostly black and white but some in colour too. 12 colour full page adverts and rest in black and white. Mix of full and half page adverts.
Here is a selection from both files:
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!
