Harrods – Where Chauffeur’s From 1942 Shopped

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Papers Past

Times Newspaper from 1942

It’s 1942, your a chauffeur to a very affluent family but where do you shop for the smartest uniform?  Well Harrods of course!

Well thats what I discovered when flicking through this 1942 original Times Newspaper from the Papers Past 1942 Times Newspaper Archive.  I’m sure any chauffeur from 1942 would come out of Harrods looking smart and professional – don’t you think?

How things have changed since 1942 – do you think Harrods still sell chauffeur uniforms?  Just a thought as my chauffeur could do with a spruce up!  Who am I kidding – I’m the chauffeur in my house – you know what its like, Dads Taxi, say no more!

Sinking of The Titanic Newspaper 16th April 1912

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Papers Past

I have just heard of some rarely available editions of The Times Newspaper from the dates around the sinking of The Titanic. They are not in our general archive but are being offered for sale with immediate delivery.
Firstly there is a genuine Times newspaper 16.4.12 which gives in detail the first report of the disaster. This Titanic archive edition has some damage and has been repaired (but it is 100 years old) and is offered at £250 being about half the price of other commercially available papers.
Also we have options on the 17th April 1912 Times containing many columns of Titanic news and comment – again at a 50% discount (down to £150) . Finally there are newspapers from the 18th and 19th April 1912 @ £95. Stocks of these are very limited and may well sell out. To order or enquire further simply call Ian Willsher Papers Past’s Archive Sales Manager on 01872 261220.

A Very Tempting Property – But Remember It Was 1932

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Papers Past

A very tempting property - but remember it was 1932 and £5500 was a lot of money

Everyone loves to talk about house prices – “are they up or are they down” – but have a look at this house advert from a 1932 Times Newspaper.

Wow – £5500 for that amazing house.  In today’s money £5500 is nothing for a house like that, but remember it was 1932 and that was a lot of money back in 1932.

I found this old house advert in a 1932 Newspaper from the Papers Past 1932 Newspaper Archive and isn’t it great?  Back in 1932 The Times Newspapers back page was full of elegant homes for sale like this one.  The back page of The Times Newspaper was where any self respected English Gentleman from 1932 would look if he was looking to buy a house.  This one would be perfect don’t you think?

Look How Much Sporting Equipment Has Changed Since 1922

Posted on April 12, 2012 by Papers Past

Sporting equipment has change quite alot since 1922

I’m an avid sports fan and try to play golf and tennis when I can.  I say “play”- my skills don’t match up to my expectations even though I’ve got all the gear.  Its the typical scenario of ”all the gear and no idea”!

But just imagine what my game would be like using this equipment from 1922.  I don’t fancy my chances hitting the fairway with those clubs or serving an Ace with that tennis racket.

It’s great looking through these old newspapers from 1922 as you get a true feeling of the time 90 years ago.

Give a 1922 Newspaper as a gift and your loved one will discover what news hit the headlines on their birthday.  That’s why these 1922 Back Issue Newspapers make such unique 90th Birthday Gifts.

Well I’m back in the 1922 Newspaper Archive latter on today so who knows what I’ll find and I’m on the golf course this weekend so fingers crossed I’ll play well!

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Papers Past

Doctor's Orders - more like Last Orders!

There’s no doubt that “Guinness is good for you” as we’ve heard that slogan for years, but I can’t imagine seeing this 1932 Back Issue Newspaper advert in today’s Times Newspaper can you?

This 1932 newspaper Guinness advert is from an original 1932 back issue newspaper which has been collected and safely stored in the Papers Past 1932 Newspaper Archive.

Well I don’t know about you but as soon as I finish in the 1932 Newspaper Archive tonight I’m following Doctor’s orders.  Don’t worry though I won’t stay until last orders as I’m no good with hangovers anymore!
