Geezus those things bloody hurt. I think they lasted only a day in my family until everyone had a turn getting their knuckles bashed. Worst toy ever next to lawn darts. Would love to know who the geniuses were who thought either of those were a good idea for kids, or anyone for that matter. Toys? 👎🏻 Weapons?👍🏻

Bored Panda contacted the creator of the "Vintage Ads, Commercials & Artwork" Facebook community and asked him to tell us a little bit about it: "I want to thank you for the interest in the group. Basically, I started it because I felt like I was being restricted in other groups that didn't accept both printed and video ads; that pretty much made me take the decision to start my own one and run it the way I think it should, by having quality content regarding interesting vintage ads, commercials, and artwork."

The man then added: "I always enjoyed the ads I used to see as a kid in what were National Geographic Magazines from the 40s to 60s. I'm only 38 by the way, but honestly, I always had an interest in old things. I have always found them really interesting."

I remember me and a friend playing "drug addict" once. Well, we went to the kitchen, made an insensitive and incorrect withdrawal-show to convince his older sister to hand out some candy to relieve us from our misery... We did not end up being junkies, in fact I not even once shot up anything, and said other friend never even touched a cigarette. Children don't always want to be what they're playing, but play things they don't like or don't wanna be just as joyful as the things they do like.

We've also wondered about the people behind the group: "I’ve got to say it was me doing it by myself for a while until the group grew and it was too much for me to handle by myself. I met people within the group who accepted to help me run it. At the moment it's only myself and a fellow group member but I must give credit to Sarah Conley for helping out so much at the beginning, until some personal issues forced her to step out as a moderator."

"I started the main page after the group, which has gained more followers so far. Getting real close to 185,000 last time I checked. Compared to the 135K members the group has. But obviously the group is where our members can share content. I found out that I wasn't the only one who enjoyed looking back at the past."

"The reason people are fascinated by the vintage stuff, I believe, is due to the fact that they want to relive some of their childhood memories and also just enjoy the history of these vintage products, services, etc. I have had so many people comment ‘I used to have that toy as a kid’ or ‘Dad used to have that car,’ also saying things like ‘I always wanted one of those.’ People have said so many nice things on the review area of my main page, like how it brings back so many wonderful memories,” said Edgar when BP asked him about the fascination around vintage things.

Lastly, the creator added: "It's important to remember the past and try to keep it alive by having an archive where maybe the younger generation can learn some history regarding advertising and what type of products were used in the past. Companies have come and gone but some are still going strong. Advertising also gives you a glimpse into society from the past and also what type of techniques of advertising worked back then. They can also analyze how advertising has evolved over time."

I was in med school 1964-68. They advertised cigarettes in the JAMA. I remember the "T Zone". You could smoke in hospitals. At the VA Hospital the patients had special beanbag ash trays with a cigarette holder and a long rubber tube. The ash tray was on the bedside table. This was so the patients could smoke in bed without setting the bed on fire. My mom's doctor, an allergist, died from complications of lung cancer. The Director of Medical Education where I trained died of COPD.

1point

Buddy G 3 years ago

The original X-Ray Specs in this ad were plastic frames with printed cardboard inserts with circular center cutout windows. The cardboard inserts were double layers sandwiching a small flattened bird down feather in those windows. Looking through the tiny-ribbed feather structures broke your view into slivers and slices and reduced solid outlines into fuzziness surrounding a more solid perceived center core. Yes you could look at a fuzzy leg and "see" a "bone" because the feather distorted solid outlines into narrow cores but you really had to go along with the premise to see even that. I was nine when I learned that deconstructing and reverse engineering such a promise-filled and wondrously enchanted product can be a cold scientific disappointment but I still figured it was better to know since I never paid the dollar for them at the joke shop. They weren't mine.

Add the three or four layers underneath the dress, and I would tend to agree, but I spoke to a Civil War re-enactor, wearing his wool Union uniform in August in Florida, and he said it wasn't as uncomfortable as you might think.

It goes back to the 1940s US. The bullet bra was developed in 1941. Extreme variants are rockets or torpedoes. Rockets were big news in the 50s so the rocket bra became very popular. Atom bombs were a big hit and the hot new two piece swimsuit design was marketed as the Bikini (Island H Bomb test site) swimsuit to capitalize on the atomic marketing of the late 40s, early 50s.

More importantly, the yardstick for cleanest breathable air in the world is on the same island. Look it up. And then there’s the telescopes. You, know, the ones that need absolute zero pollution.

Geez.

Do we really need the "America bad" comments? There's plenty wrong with America today (guns, racism, the far-right), but NONE of that is in this harmless poster.

Elaine Stewart born Elsy Henrietta Maria Steinberg May 31, 1930 – June 27, 2011) was an American actress and model. Stewart was born in Montclair, New Jersey, the daughter of Hedwig (Haenssler) and Ulrich E. Steinberg. She was one of five children born to Jewish immigrants. Her father was a police sergeant. She was a teenager when she signed a contract with the Conover modeling agency and changed her name. Soon after, the movie producer Hal Wallis offered her $200 a week to play a nurse in the Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis comedy Sailor Beware. Stewart had a supporting role in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), as Lila, a starlet who has a romantic fling with a producer played by Kirk Douglas. She was featured as Julie, the love interest of Sgt Ryan, played by Richard Widmark, in Take the High Ground! Stewart guest-starred in TV series such as Bat Masterson and Burke's Law, both starring Gene Barry. In her last acting appearance on TV, she played Irene Grey in the Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Capering Camera" in 1964.[11] Stewart was a co-hostess on two 1970s game shows, Gambit with Wink Martindale and the nighttime edition of High Rollers with Alex Trebek, both produced by her husband, Merrill Heatter On June 27, 2011, Stewart died at her home in Beverly Hills, California, at the age of 81. She was survived by her husband and two children. Upon her death, she was promptly cremated.

Ahh, the old A&P. Originally The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. My parents used to be there to shop, like clockwork, after dinner on Saturday back in the 1960s. My mother would even put on her girdle and dress up, just in case we ran into other people we knew—-and we usually did AND they were dressed up as well. I remember the old coffee grinders at the end of every checkout lane, which the kids doing the bagging would use to grind your bag of coffee. I also remember my mother waiting with the cart for my father to bring the car up, and one of the kids working outside would load the bags of groceries in the trunk for my parents, who would then tip them. Yes, a full serve grocery store. They were all like that back then. Same with gas stations. Anyway, one of their other store brands, I think for canned goods, but it might have been bakery, was Ann Page (they used the A and P to name their brands, except for their coffee). If anyone remembers what the Ann Page items were, please let me know. It was almost 60 years ago, and I was a small to smallish kid back then. Ah, memories.

1910 fashion poster "for the summer." This elegant, light, and practical dress is for the beach, for your companion, and for the mountains.

Pour la campagne is for the outdoors which this dress does not seem very practical for.

In 1910 it was very practical when compared to daily wear for a city woman

Yes! The guy with the cigarette. He looks like he slipped something into their drinks.

Not that I'm complaining, but Jane Russell used to lean forward a lot: JaneRussel...e7dfd9.jpg

As others have said this wasn't her. But also she never looked old because she never was. She passed away when she was 36.
