And just as a reminder, I have only ever seen A-M, but no N-Z in this series.  Do they exist?

and I'll add again that I've only ever found up to "M" in this series - if they went N-Z, I'd love to see them.

Shell Oil UK, 1950s

ETA: SEE THE FULL COLLECTION HERE in full size!


Shell made SO many of these series and so few of them are available online in their full beauty, let alone in complete sets.  Here are a handful from the "Trees" series, looking at trees month by month.

This is my first time posting to the community, I've read the rules, but I don't know if I obeyed all of them, so I'm sorry if there's something wrong on my post!

This video is a compilation of five Shell commercials from 1969 featuring the brazilian band "Os Mutantes".



And under the cut there's some pics.
