C1763-Keep Calm and Carry On Black Coaster

The poster that this paperweight is made from was originally produced by Britain’s Ministry of Information in 1939. It was to be used as part of a “worst-case scenario” response if the Nazis had successfully invaded England. Though several million copies were printed, very few of the posters were ever distributed. The simple, reassuring tone of the message is perhaps as valuable today as it was nearly 70 years ago!
