JayKay, that & the bottom one are from the 70s. Sometime after 1971 (decimilsation). Look closely and spot the 25p price in biro!

The top picture Irishwoman’s Journal/Sunbeam features the MacLean’s advert girl. I have always wondered who she was and have never been able to find out..She must be in her 60s now (like me)..I will continue to search..
