'Agricultural Ireland' magazine, which was published monthly from 1941 to 1963. This bunch of approx. 45 issues all date from the 1940s & offer a fascinating insight into agricultural practice in Ireland during 'The Emergency' & postwar period. The adverts really are a social history in themselves.

Nice to find an Irish maker's mark. Not by Pierce of Wexford, as one might expect. But it is by a County Wexford firm: Bolger of Ferns. I hadn't heard of this business, which was also renowned for its edge tools.
