I love the inscription around this old door bell on a rather grand townhouse in the West End of Glasgow.

Apparently, this was once a common feature of door bells, and was even parodied by A.A. Milne in Winnie the Pooh. However, this is the only surviving example I've ever come across in Glasgow.

Looking through some old photos I came across this.
From about 1966. This poster was screen printed by ( DC? Greer ) of Partick Cross Glasgow. Family friends.
I remember the turpentine smell and watching the amazing skills of the commercial artist with paintbrush and stencil. #OldGlasgow #Partick
