"Call in Consolidated" - advert issued by the Consolidated Pneumatic Tool Co Ltd., London and Fraserburgh, 1953
Back in the day when colourful artworks were commonly used to advertise even the heaviest of industries and this artwork illustration, signed "Stanwood", gives an impression of heavy work in foundries were castings had to be cleaned when out of the mould. Not much in the way of protective equipment here!
Consolidated Pneumatic was the UK offshoot of the famous Chicago Pneumatic Company and it had works in London as well as in the quite seemingly distant Fraserburgh in Scotland were the works were established in 1905.
