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.

I've never heard of Belforte before, but I found a history of it here if anyone is interested in this American watchmaker.

Hamilton Ladies' Watches

National Geographic 1964
   Ha!  The joke is that women aren't going to obediently look only at the top picture while their husbands peruse the watches below.  They're going to look at both, and the surprise will be ruined.  Thanks, Hamilton.  You ruined Christmas.
