"More Ships- Come on! War Savings are Warships..." Vintage WWII British Poster
About the Item
Presented is a vintage WWII British War Savings Poster. This colorful blue and yellow poster features a British bulldog wearing an HMS Victory sailor cap. Set within a red speech bubble above the dog is the text, “More Ships- Come On!,” printed in red letters. Below, “War Savings are Warships…,” is printed in white and yellow clock letters against a navy background.
The poster was issued by three different committees- the National Savings Committee in London, the Scottish Savings Committee in Edinburgh, and the Ulster Savings Committee in Belfast. Following the outbreak of the Second World War, the War Office reorganized the Regional Savings Committees and launched the War Savings Campaign.
Savings groups were set up by volunteers in work places, schools and clubs to promote the purchase of savings stamps and bonds. An individual could buy a savings stamp for as little as sixpence or for two shillings and sixpence. Once they purchased a total of 15 shillings worth, they could exchange the stamps for a National Savings Certificate. If they had £5 worth of stamps, they could exchange for a Defense Bond. Both certificates and bonds were guaranteed to give a good rate of return after the war.
Posters printed by the War Savings Committee encouraged people not to spend their extra cash on unnecessary items when they could use it to contribute to the war effort through the purchase of war savings, instead.

Vintage Original Alakh Niranjan Bollywood Movie Poster
Located in Pasadena, CA
Filmmaking is a reflection of the culture it arises from, and Bollywood cinema has been forever intertwined with the Indian identity. The posters from the 1970s, especially the 1975 Alakh Niranjan, resonate with a formative period in the evolution of Bollywood, where the socio-political landscape was continuously shaping the narratives portrayed on screen. The film industry began to explore more complex character representations, especially those of women by integrating them as central figures. During this period, Bollywood began to solidify its role as a cultural touchstone that mirrored the aspirations and anxieties of Indian society. The presence of the panther that the actress holds on a leash is not only a stylistic choice; it reflects themes of power, dominance, and the connection between nature and human emotion, frequently explored in the films of that era.
In Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma today), Alakh Niranjan is a term commonly used to refer to the Creator. It is also referenced to describe the qualities of both God and the Self, known as the Atman. The word Alakh translates to “that which cannot be perceived or seen,” while Niranjan means “free from blemishes or impurities.”
