That's a rather nice mix of the old and the new.

This is slightly earlier, but here's a nice advert from 1951:

Great find - thanks for that. Wow, they were expensive! I’m not pre-decimal but I’m sure I read on the old classiclightweights site that early 50s lightweights were in the region of £9-£10.

Yes, Hobbs of Barbican were amongst the more expensive brands, especially in the 30's and 40's and also into the 50's too.
