A very rare pair of HOME PRIDE FRED sterling silver Flour men paperweights famous from the UK adverts of the 1960s and 1970s, hallmarked for London 1990, are extremely rare.
Homepride used a cartoon character named "Fred the Flour Grader" as part of its marketing. Fred was created by the Geers-Gross advertising agency in 1964. These are solid silver versions of Fred.
Each weighs 6oz.with Green baize base to the underside.
Offered in immaculate condition. One sold some years ago, just a single, for over $500. To find two together is a complete rarity.
I am happy to split; contact me for details. less
