Vintage London Brick Company Phorpres Cellular Half Scale Brick Display

A small vintage half scale brick advertising/display piece for London Brick Company Limited, marked to the underside. The brick is a miniature hollow cellular brick form, with three rectangular openings and a textured buff concrete/clay surface.

This is an unusual architectural, trade or sales sample piece, likely produced as a promotional or demonstration item rather than a toy. A great small display item for collectors of building trade advertising, architectural salvage, industrial history, model bricks, builders’ merchants’ items or London Brick Company memorabilia.

The underside retains remnants of the original black printed/stamped base, with wording including “Phorpres Cellular Brick” and “London Brick Company Limited.” The surface has age-related wear, dirt, marks and rubbing, giving it a good honest industrial look.
