This 1938 Old Gold Cigarettes advertisement features a model in an Art Deco wedding dress and was created by George Petty.  George Petty (1894-1975) was an American pin-up artist whose work famously appeared in Esquire magazine.  His gatefolds originated and popularized the magazine device of centerfold spreads.

The Old Gold ad is approximately 8.5"W x 12"L and is in fair condition.  It has a crease through the center and wear on the left edge from being removed from a magazine.

Chuck Olson Legacy

Chuck Olson spent over 40 years collecting and traveling the United States in search of unique vintage prints.  He was especially interested in prints that were printed for use on calendars in the "Age of the Calendar" from 1900-1960.  Chuck's prints are original prints created from the painting and not new reproductions.
