Sneak peek of the Guinness museum,

One of the two displays in place for the Dr books.  Very pleased.  More pics will follow once the 'museum' is completed which will hopefully be soon.

1961 Flying Toucan lamp from Carltonware.

Just acquired the lamp to go with the flying toucan set from 1961. As you can see I need the shade.  There are two sorts, one with the running toucans around the bottom and the other with two large toucans and the words "My Goodness".  Any help obtaining, leads, etc. will be greatly appreciated.

Silver Plated Guinness 1/4pt Tankard

A further addition. A 1/4pt silver plated tankard.  Looking at the marks the tankard is made by Elkington from Walsall, West Mids and is dated 1945 (The J in the shield). Don't know if the Guinness engraving came with the tankard or a later addition - nonetheless I like it.
