Lot 190a: A Collection of Barrow-in-Furness Brewery and Barbados Travel Ephemera
This lot comprises an assortment of historical ephemera and printed documents. Included is a four-page Case’s Supplement from the North-Western Evening Mail, dated Wednesday, 14 September 1949, celebrating the centenary of Case and Co. Ltd. Barrow Brewery with historical articles and photographs. The lot features an unused blank-date cheque for B. Case & Co. Wine Merchants & Brewers, Barrow & Ulverston, drawn on The Lancaster Banking Company, Ulverston, pre-dated 188- with Victorian-style ornate typography. Also included is a printed Barbados travel leaflet titled Welcome to Sunbury Plantation & Heritage Tour, containing a map and historical descriptions of island sites. The collection is completed by two sheets of heavily aged paper, one with dense printed text and another with manuscript notations, and a large, worn brown paper envelope.
Condition report:
The items range in condition from poor to good. The 1949 newspaper supplement is toned with age and exhibits creasing and small tears to the edges. The Victorian-era brewery cheque is well-preserved and housed in a modern protective sleeve. The Barbados tour leaflet is clean with minor folds. The two older paper documents are heavily browned, brittle, and show significant foxing and staining. The large brown envelope shows substantial wear and signs of handling commensurate with age.
