What’s people’s thoughts on this? I initially thought it was ok but have my suspicions now. The vendor has the Silver Shred sign too. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264679450742 |

My view is that these are both good, but of late manufacture, probably just post-war. They were displayed in pairs, and I can remember a couple outside a local shop in the early 1970s. |

Yep, both fine. I have an identical Golden Shred on my kitchen wall. |

Both are good - though quite late. There's an earlier(?) version with a larger G than the other letters |

Yes, the earlier one included the Golliberry brand and were more attractive font wise. Thanks for the help guys 😄👍 |

Always popular Mick, Maybe something to do with the Golliwog link of Robertsons ? |

Certain everyday food brands advertising has gone quite mad recently. I like the Robertsons brand stuff (Not the golly pictured stuff) - I have a Golden and a Silver Shred pair that are minters and really like them.
Still trying to complete the set though with these below - any out there, let me know. (Collecting sets of things can drive you mad as well)

Full article on Robertsons in the next BBR magazine - trying to work out logistics of print/ delivery/ post which includes a range of the upcoming recently discovered ephemera hoard (gawd knows exactly when we can reschedule the May 31st auction) |

Bought this one off the Godfather at Newark about 10 years ago when there were a few around signs. Thought it was cheap at £120 and a good investment as the Robertson's brand is iconic and these look great in a kitchen . I have a suspicion they came from India?

Thanks Steve for the heads up. What a shame it has a front tooth knocked out in the middle…
I’ll probably pass on this one as I’m really looking for another minter to go with my other two minters – happy to pay more for a top quality one.
Also hate using the bay with mad people bidding into the stratosphere – gotta have it, gotta have it, gotta have it! Much prefer to buy direct from another collector.
Cheers
