EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the image of a jovial plumber, Mr. Pipe, proudly displaying his collection of Gibbs toothpaste Happy Families cards. Dating back to the 20th century, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone era when tradesmen took pride in their work and shared camaraderie with their colleagues. Mr. Pipe, dressed in his work overalls and donning a cap, sits at a table laden with tools and a toolbag. A blowlamp rests on the table, its flame extinguished, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. With a satisfied expression, Mr. Pipe scratches his head as he examines the cards in his hand. The Gibbs Happy Families cards, a popular trading card game during the era, feature various families and professions. Mr. Pipe's collection showcases the 'Mr. Pipe' character, a plumber, surrounded by his family. The cards, with their vibrant colors and intricate details, add a pop of cheerfulness to the scene. The photograph not only highlights the playful side of Mr. Pipe but also underscores the skill and trade pride that was once a hallmark of the plumbing profession. The image invites us to appreciate the simple joys of life, the pleasure of a good game, and the camaraderie that comes with sharing it with friends and colleagues.
