About two years ago I picked up an original shop window advertising roll
from the dispersal auction of the collection of the late Kevin Daly of
Gympie, Queensland, Australia.  Kevin had nearly 2000 rolls in his life
time collection.  The roll and advertising details are:-

E410 Mastertouch Expression.
Bells of St. Marys,  (Mastertouch Expression is cut for Recordo)

which comes right at the end of the roll)

The printing is all hand done in large ticket card style, suggesting
a one off.  Christies was a retail firm in Melbourne, Australia.

Do other members have shop window advertising rolls?
