VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "RIVETS & WASHERS" by D. Powis & Sons Ltd. , highlighting their range of products made from various metals and alloys. The ad specifies that they offer rivets and washers in copper, aluminum, light aluminum alloys, and duralumin; split cotter pins in steel, stainless steel & nickel alloy; as well as non-corrodible materials. The company positions itself as contractors to the Air Ministry, Admiralty, etc. , suggesting they supply these components for use in aviation and maritime applications where durability and resistance to corrosion are critical. D. Powis & Sons Ltd. is noted to have been established in 1864, indicating a long-standing presence in the industry at the time of this advertisement. Their address is given as Forward Works, Golden Hillock Road Sparkbrook Birmingham 11 with a telephone number (Victoria 2161-2) and telegrams handle ("Powis Birmingham"), which points towards historical modes of communication typical before the digital age. The graphic design features an array of rivets and washers prominently displayed against a dark background with bold lettering used for text elements – characteristic of mid-20th-century industrial advertisements aimed at professional buyers rather than general consumers.
