I got these the other day, a pack of playing cards advertising William Mills Ltd. Not sure of the date of these, but the telephone number is only 4 digits, so maybe from the 1960's ? Hopefully of some interest and just a bit of fun.
Yes, I think the post WW2 period. Long after William Mills died. Very nice find.
The Wednesbury factory in Friars Park Road was set up by the government to produce Engine blocks for the Merlin engine and other power plants. Post war it became the William Mills named subsidiary of The British Aluminium Co Lt. It continued to make engine blocks until (I think) 1977 when is closed. Post WW2 the company sold off the original Mills works in Grove Street Birmingham.
To expand, Mill's shooting sticks are about and would make a Nice decorative (Wife Approved etc) addition to any home.
Made between the wars and after.
Placed of course in the traditional Elephant foot stand ~:xd:
