Australian Ashes Cricket Team 1934 [Bradman, Woodfull, Ponsford et al] Unusual Original Advertising Memorabilia.

Significant size would frame and display nicely – fragile so handle carefully. One of the most usual pieces of period advertising we have come across.

With the strong message “Well laundered sports wear gives confidence” we are told to “Send your cricket and tennis flannels and Ladies sports frocks” for proper laundry treatment to provide the above mentioned confidence.

Nice image of the team, not all in baggy green and a strangely suited L Darling.

The 1934 Ashes were held in England and Australia won off the back of some solid batting by Bradman and Ponsford. England started well wining the first test – Verity took 15 wickets. The next two were drawn but Bradman/ Ponsford scored a partnership of 388 at Headingley and 452 at the Oval to take the urn.

Dimensions xxcm by xxcm in good condition – take care of it!
