Antique Advertising Showcard / Shop Display Bottomley's Mint Rock c.1940
A charming and visually striking piece of mid-20th century advertising.
This original c.1940 showcard for Bottomley’s Mint Rock captures the nostalgic spirit of traditional British sweet shops. Bold, colourful, and bursting with charm, this vintage shop display would have originally been placed on a counter or in a window to tempt customers with the mint rock.
Featuring classic 1940s graphics and typography, this piece is a fine example of wartime-era promotional art—designed to stand out even during the austerity years.
Bottomley's mint rock was created by Jonas Bottomley and launched a variety of confectionery. The company was well known for the famous mint rock which was marketed with extravagant claims about curing bronchitis and saving lives!
An excellent display item for collectors of antique confectionery advertising, vintage retail, or for anyone looking to add a nostalgic touch to their home, café, or retail decor.
