Collector Books (Paduch, KY) has released a colorful new volume, Old Magazine Advertisements, 1890-1950. The book, from the author of Old Magazines, is a pictorial history of products advertised in vintage magazines.
The author highlights that this field is one of the least expensive collectibles left - anyone can afford to collect them. They are easy to store (in loose leaf binders), they take up very little space, and they can be put on a shelf like a book. Over 1,100 color photographs of advertisements are featured in this bound-to-be-bestseller.
Coca-Cola and Cream of Wheat are two of the largest categories covered. Famous illustrators like Nor-man Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish did the work on some of these vintage ads, and their work can be seen throughout the pages of the book.
