These are genuine original magazine advertisements from a 1952 issue of LIFE.

This full-colour, vintage beer ad features a festive picture of a great holiday spread. The food and beverages on offer are below three large Christmas tree ornaments bearing the rhetorical question, "What'll You Have?". Hey, a bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and some of that ham sounds good! (We're also invited to "Follow Pabst Blue Ribbon Boxing Bouts" on the CBS Television and Radio Networks in this dated advertisement)

Or if one prefers, the reverse features a range (w/ prices) of, "A Man's Idea Of Christmas... gifts by Seaforth!". This line of men's toiletries include shaving lotions, creams and talcs as well as colognes and the trusty, plaid travel kit.

Many vintage ads can act as "time capsules", reflecting the styles and sensibilities of a particular era. Christmas ads, perhaps due to the traditional, "family" nature of the holiday, often evoke a stronger sense of nostalgia. They can stir childhood memories of simpler, more sentimental times.

This LARGE 1950s ad measures 14" x 10 1/4" (approx.). The image of this piece of advertising memorabilia / ephemera has been accommodated completely by a large-format scanner. This Fifties print ad is in excellent condition (a slightly curled edge) and is eminently suitable for framing - perhaps as a decorative holiday accent for your home.

Canada/USA Postage & Packing is $5.00 (Elsewhere to be determined). Multiple items purchased from SHARP OBJECTS may be combined for shipping purposes.
