Welcome! Before
bidding or buying, we ask that you please read this auction thoroughly and ask
questions.
Up for grabs is this very
nice ~ 100% ORIGINAL ~ magazine advertisement. This measures approximately
10.5" X 13.5" (ea pg).
This would look beautiful
framed. It would also make the perfect gift for anyone, including
yourself, for your own decorating touch. (Think housewarming, baby
showers, weddings, and bridal showers, birthdays, Christmas’…just to name a
few). Framed ads are becoming more and more popular. A
few specific rooms they are used in, but not limited to include Kitchens,
Bedrooms and Bathrooms. I have also heard they are used for
scrap-booking and decoupage. They show a simpler time that no longer
exists. It’s the nostalgia that often sells an ad. All information, history and stories can now
be found on-line, but ads cannot. Most of these ads
have not been trimmed. A few ads might have a light brownish color
that should be able to be seen in the pictures provided - usually in the
border/edge of the ad. (Please note: it does not impact
the ad itself.) A very large majority of these ads are well over 70+
years old. The majority of come directly from Life Magazines and
could date back as far as 1937.
Coca Cola and many
cigarette ads are often found on the back of a magazine issue. Some are in really good condition and some
show wear and marks. Please look at the
photos CLOSELY to see what you are getting.
2pg ads are often detached pages, not always unseparated. If you are looking for one not separated,
please contact me as I do have multiples of not all, but several ads. I don’t offer best offers on my ads, nor do I
accept them.
FYI: (Late 60’s ads and up often are just slightly
smaller than the earlier years.)
I can’t believe I
actually have to say this, but you are NOT getting the product, just this
advertisement. Also, the USPS has
raised shipping rates again. Our shipping costs are
actual. The rise in the price of shipping is them, not
us. Due to the increases, the flat rate shipping for magazine ads
will change on August 1, 2024 to $5.00 from the current $4.00 rate.
We never charge extra for any ads purchased. Ebay turns that
option on and we have to turn it off and often times we don’t know it’s
there. If you run across this, please let me know. WE GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING!
Also, unless a
customer requests a different method of shipping, we ship GROUND
ADVANTAGE. ONLY DOMESTIC USA sales
qualify for the flat rate shipping.
International customers do not qualify for it and we do not waive VAT
fees, as a few people have requested over the years.
Please note that some
Colliers & Post ads being as old as they are sometimes run colors onto
other pages if they had gotten damp at any point in time over the last 70+ years. You
should be able to see any ads that have the color run-offs within the photo(s)
shown if there are any.
Immediate payment is a
must, unless you are purchasing more than one item. Please let me know if I can help with any
sale. We do our best to get all
purchases in the mail as soon as we can. Please check your messages
or email for updates on shipping. To see where your package is, you
