These vintage advertisements may show tiny flaws or discoloration. These genuine vintage ads are printed on age of magazine-appropriate paper and as such, sometimes, the paper isn't crisp and shiny like a brand new ad.
All my cut ad's were very removed from their original publications. Then cut from the opposing page as close to the center of the magazine fold as possible. They are otherwise untrimmed to allow you the maximum amount of material to use in the framing and/or matting process.
WHY COLLECT ADS :
· A collector might collect a particular subject like anything that deals with a Ford Pinto, a favorite hobby, profession, interest, or beverage. An ad is a perfect addition to any collection.
· An ad can provide a great memory, look “cool”, be an unusual piece of art to decorate a home or office.
· It is a unique gift idea. Match someone’s interests, birth date or birthday month or year.
· These may not be “one of a kind” but they effectively are "limited-edition".
· They are a piece of history often showing cultural conditions, mores, moral standards, customs or habitual practices that can be much different from those followed or accepted today as being politically correct.
· They are incredible conversation pieces.
