Blog Bling: Clips from the Turn of the Century

Hey guys, here are some ad images from a 1920′s publication. I tell ya, there were some interesting advertisements in those days. The catch words were different, but the tone was very similar to modern TV infomercials, with plenty of find true love, lose extra pounds, and get rich quick schemes!

Anyway, I scanned a couple of pages and extracted these objects and cleaned them up. Most of the images are in black and white, but as you can see, some are colored in shades of red. There are 17 clips in all and members can download the single 2200 x 3200 pixel PNG file after the jump.

Oh Katrina, these are so awesome! Love them all, but especially the clock — my dad has one just like that! It was my great-great grandfather’s! Can’t wait to use it to make a birthday card for him. :)
