About the Daily Sketch
The Daily Sketch was a British national tabloid newspaper, founded in Manchester in 1909 by Sir Edward Hulton.
It was bought in 1920 by Lord Rothermere's Daily Mirror Newspapers but in 1925 Rothermere offloaded it to William and Gomer Berry (later Viscount Camrose and Viscount Kemsley), who merged it with the Daily Graphic.
It was owned by a subsidiary the Berrys' Allied Newspapers (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1937 when Camrose withdrew to concentrate his efforts on the Daily Telegraph) until 1952, and from 1946 it was renamed the Daily Graphic. Then, however, Kemsley decided to sell the paper to Associated Newspapers, the owner of the Daily Mail, who promptly renamed it the Daily Sketch. The paper struggled through the 1950s and 1960s, never managing to compete successfully with the Daily Mirror and in 1971 it was closed and merged with the Daily Mail.

Bought this for a WW2 themed dinner party. Lots of interesting facts and items to leave lying around for guests to look at. Have kept it for my daughter to look at for her homework. Wouldn't class it as a toy.
