1970s Decimalisation Posters

DECIMAL_3(1)

Whatever else I might love about the past, the old monetary systems isn’t one of them and decimilisation has never seemed like anything but a good idea. So I would be quite happy to celebrate “going decimal” with one of these original 1970s Decimalisation Posters.

These posters are from 1971 and were used to warn London Underground and bus users that they would now longer be able to use their old denominations of money. They are the genuine article, having been stored away somewhere for nearly 40 years.

Sold framed in white frame, there is currently a special offer where you can buy all three variations together for £150 or buy one for £65 (still half of the usual price). If either offer appeals, you need to visit Retrophenia to buy.

Roll and Tumble Press prints

Roll and tumble

What happens when a letterpress printer meets a tattoo artist? Take a look at the prints made by Roll and Tumble Press for your answer. 

As you might expect, they combine the typographical sensibilities of the letterpress printer, with the artistic eye of the tattoo artist to create some interesting artworks. This Sweet Dreams print uses antique wood type, combined with stunning hand-mixed colours – in this case lavender, pale yellow, midnight blue and charcoal grey – for a great retro look. 

And the prints are reasonably priced too, selling for $15 – $20.

Vintage-style Union Jack trunks at Graham and Green

Union jack trunks

Another new way to try and store your stuff in style with the vintage-style Union Jack trunks at Graham and Green

You get two trunks for your money, at differing sizes: the large is 61cm high and the smaller trunk is 51cm high. The vintage look comes courtesy of the canvas of the trunks which has been deliberately distressed to make it look old and well travelled. Inside the hinged lid is a faded image of the Union Jack to tap into that current interiors trend. They're also selling a longer and shallower trunk with a similar look. 

Vintage style apparently doesn't come cheap as the set of two trunks costs £795.
