A wonderful Mac Fisheries shop sign designed by
Joseph Armitage, c1922
Unsure as to which shop this sign graced but it could have been
the unit at 58a Brompton Road in London.
It shows the classic Mac Fisheries trademark along with a charming water sprite clutching a fish.

Thank you all so much.
The following 62 photographs and many more over the web-site have been supplied to me
from Mr Jason Maclean.
Jason's father, Mr Donald Maclean worked as logistics director for Mac Fisheries during
the 60s and 70s.
This batch of advertising posters were rescued from a rubbish skip by Donald whilst
he was employed by Macs. Jason states that some of these posters were just trials
and never made the shop floors. (unknown which ones though)
Looking though these posters you will also notice many in the style of Hans Schleger,
especially the 'Such' series, if any of these H/S posters prove to be 'just trials' I would say they would be very rare items indeed.
Thank you Jason for sending me all this information
