Why it's such an interesting collectable

This isn't just an old advertising leaflet. It's a little time capsule of dublin's past.

Look through the businesses, the old telephone numbers, the original company names, the advertising styles and the services that were part of everyday life.

It captures an era when local businesses advertised through printed community directories, when mobile numbers beginning with 087 were relatively new, and when satellite television was transforming how irish households watched tv.

One particularly interesting detail: the sky digital branding helps establish that this leaflet cannot pre-date sky digital's irish launch in 1998.

Imagine the memories this could bring back for somebody who grew up in dublin 5 or remembers these local businesses!

Ideal for:

Collectors of irish advertising memorabilia

Dublin and local history enthusiasts

Former residents of raheny, coolock and malahide

Collectors of vintage printed ephemera

Anyone interested in the history of irish businesses and everyday life

A wonderful little piece of local history that would be difficult to replace once lost.

Age: estimated late 1990s / early 2000s (exact year unconfirmed).

Condition: original vintage condition. Please examine photographs for details.

A genuine piece of dublin nostalgia!
