Preston Farmers / 75 Years / Service to the farmer / 1911–1986

A mug that my brother-in-law served me coffee in. Made in 1986 to commemorate 75 years of Preston Farmers (probably Preston Farmers Ltd, an agricultural cooperative; more at MERL). I initially thought that “75 YEARS” was Scanner, but it turns out to be Eras with a Scanner-like treatment. Eras also used for “Service to the farmer”. The remaining text is Rockwell.

No idea where Kinross Mill is, or what its significance is.

The mug itself was presumably 37 when I took the picture in 2023; if it lasts as long again, it will deserve its own commemoration.
