International Advertising Convention at the British Empire Exhibition, July 14th – 17th 1924, three paper items. These are three paper items that were saved by someone who attended the International Advertising Convention at the British Empire Exhibition in July 1924. The Convention ran between July 14th to 17th, and was organised by the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World (District 14). These items are for events on July 12th and 13th, that were only for people who would be attending the Convention. First is a 7¼” x 5¼” embossed invitation to a Reception at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday July 12th. It is in perfect clean condition. The following morning there was a Service for Delegates of the Advertising Convention at Westminster Abbey. There is a twelve-page 8½” x 5½” Programme and a 4½” x 3½” Ticket. These have minor foxing but are also in very good clean condition. It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important. If after you receive the item there is any problem at all please let me know BEFORE leaving feedback or leaving a low Item As Described rating. If you do not let me know of a problem I have no way of knowing what may have been wrong and I really do want to sort it out. My email address is I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records. Browsing ! Rather than ! e.g. 7" single records, LP's, Books, Toys etc etc. You will not have to wade through hundreds of items that you are perhaps not interested in. CONDITION. The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old. Some are older and some may be a few years younger. I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades! ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with basic / second class postage FREE in the UK. They are not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them but for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay. DELIVERY TIMES. Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that this service is reliable and often is unexpectedly fast. For the last couple of years I have actually posted lighter items first class, even though 2nd class has been paid for. Please note that from now on - due to the post office price increases, I will be sending all items 2nd class unless first class has been paid for. I have also listed other faster options for UK postage (First Class Recorded Delivery + Special Delivery is available) and also various options for overseas buyers that are stated when you Worldwide Postage / Shipping. Upate - May 2012 - the new much-increased Royal Mail Air Mail rates have come into effect. After absorbing the costs for the last two years - this rise is so huge that I am having to increase my prices. Many apologies for this. I really am trying to keep the prices as low as possible. TRACKING NUMBER. If an item sells for more than £35, (or for a package that has a total value of more than £35) it will need to be sent with a Tracking Number - the Royal Mail's International Signed For service. This costs an additional £5 and that price... read more
