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
can click on the tracking number sent to you.
Non-paying
customers are reported. ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND ARE SOLD AS
ADVERTISED.
