What you'll find here:

This blog is a collection of vintage advertisements, posted Monday through Friday. All ads are scans from magazines in my collection (or those of my friends), so I claim no copyright over them. Remember, these ads are from bygone eras: don't get upset if you see something you don't like, nor excited if you see something you do.

If you particularly like an ad and want a hi-res copy for yourself, email or message me and I can send you one.

Fame Perfume

Playboy Sept. 1964
Yes, folks, that is Audrey Hepburn.  I had to look it up, but she did do some ads for Parfum De Corday.

Jantzen Pullovers

Playboy Sept. 1964
Man, they picked some goofy dudes for this one.  
Hooray for the average man, I guess.

Twofer Tuesday - Jade East

Playboy Sept. 1964
Fun fact:  I found a set of Jade East cologne in an antique store recently... they smell pretty awful.  
Maybe it's because they're old?  Do colognes go bad?

The Eurailpass


Playboy Jan. 1969
I was particularly surprised to come across this ad for a Eurailpass.  Not that a cheap-but-effective mode of transportation isn't a smart idea for young aspiring playboys, but it stands apart from the rest of the Playboy-sourced ads I've found.
For the curious:  That 3-month ticket costs $210 dollars in 1969 or about $1,360 today.
