The Sentry and the Shell Fairy

Illustrated by Outhwaite, Ida Rentoul

 British Imperial Oil Company, 1924 Illustrated wraps Fine  4to 

Muir 4851 suggests that this was published in 1924. There may have only been 300 copies printed.

Pictorial wrappers plus 16 pages, including 6 beautiful full colour full page illustrations. Shell products advertised on the final page "next time you are motoring with Daddy, tell him about the Sentry and the Shell Fairy and remind him to be sure and ask for Shell Motor Lubricating Oil". Ah, those were innocent times, when the enemy of progress was Friction.

A couple of insignificant blemishes on the very edges of the wraps, firmly stapled.
