Guinness Time

By crownfolio | Published: December 5, 2011

There’s not a great deal I can say about this.  It’s by Tom Eckersley and is from 1970. The magazine is the Guinness in house magazine, and unless you want to see pictures of Edward Heath drinking Guinness and find out more about the Suggestions Awards, the contents are not enthralling.  So here’s the back.

Despite the holidays, there are a few faint signs of life on eBay now.  In fact more than faint, as this 1963 Tom Eckersley went for a whopping £123.65 a few days ago.  Not to us, I hasten to add. I’m not sure what’s going on here.  It may be that later Eckersley posters are [...]
