frank downs wall plaques anyone?

I saw a cool plastic car wall plaque on holiday last weekend. It was in a junk shop in Grassington, North Yorkshire a bit like the one pictured I saw online.

I knew it immediately! We had them allover the house when I was a kid in the late Sixties and Seventies. Vintage car pictures with gold outlines.

I checked the maker on the back. Frank Downs Ltd. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm sure I've seen reproductions of these.


Did they do anything else besides cars?

  1. Yes, I suspect so.
    I recall trains, aeroplanes and even tanks in similar format.

    1. Really Andy, so many different ones. I do seem to recall trains as well. They looked great on my Parent's walls!
