ITEM DESCRIPTION: Quality REPRINT of a Magazine AD (a great color copy of an original 1906 BLACK & WHITE AD on quality acid free paper ~ a color copy shows the aged paper with the light sepia tone coloring making it an exact duplicate of the aged original) featuring the PATROL FIRE EXTINGUISHER by American-LaFrance Fire Engine Co.

The ad beautifully illustrates the fire extinguisher and a mother with her young daughter putting out flames.

This antique, early 1900's ad has the caption, "PUT IT OUT...If there was a blaze in your kitchen, what would you do - how would you meet the danger?......."

AD SIZE:  6" X 9" Sheet (text size 2 3/4" x 8 3/4" with added margins)

CONDITION:  Excellent condition from a smoke free environment and looks exactly like the aged original ad. Any printing imperfections that were on the original advertisement would also show on the exact duplicate.

PACKAGING/MAILING:  This REPRINT AD will be placed in a NEW Archival quality, PVC and acid-free SHEET PROTECTOR and packed in a FLAT, RIGID PHOTO MAILER for safe handling within 24 hours of payment.

Please note: As most original magazine advertisements have ads on both sides, each side cannot be sold as an original. Therefore, a quality reprint is made of one side so that the ad will not be lost and can be available to collectors.


Why Buy Vintage Advertisements? Vintage advertising, especially one that matches a family heirloom or a cherished collectible adds value to your item as it provides fabulous provenance showing the date made, name of manufacturer, place made, and other product details. A vintage piece not only captures a time and place, providing a real-time look at the past, but makes a great asset for the historian, teacher, decorator, collector. As a gift, individual pages and ads look great matted and framed, complementing the real item in many cases. I.E., if you have an antique Hoosier Kitchen cabinet, a vintage advertisement makes a great wall accessory hung near your Hoosier showing the details.
