1949 VTG Orig Christmas Magazine Store Ad Toytown Butler Brothers Elmer The Elf

Description: Welcome! Before bidding or buying, we ask that you please read this auction thoroughly and ask questions. Up for grabs is this very nice ~ 100% ORIGINAL ~ magazine advertisement. This measures approximately 10.5" X 13.5" (ea pg). This would look beautiful framed. It would also make the perfect gift for anyone, including yourself, for your own decorating touch. (Think housewarming, baby showers, weddings, and bridal showers, birthdays, Christmas’…just to name a few). Framed ads are becoming more and more popular. A few specific rooms they are used in, but not limited to include Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms. I have also heard they are used for scrap-booking and decoupage. They show a simpler time that no longer exists. It’s the nostalgia that often sells an ad. All information, history and stories can now be found on-line, but ads cannot. Most of these ads have not been trimmed. A few ads might have a light brownish color that should be able to be seen in the pictures provided - usually in the border/edge of the ad. (Please note: it does not impact the ad itself.) A very large majority of these ads are well over 70+ years old. The majority of come directly from Life Magazines and could date back as far as 1937. Coca Cola and many cigarette ads are often found on the back of a magazine issue. Some are in really good condition and some show wear and marks. Please look at the photos CLOSELY to see what you are getting. 2pg ads are often detached pages, not always unseparated. If you are looking for one not separated, please contact me as I do have multiples of not all, but several ads. I don’t offer best offers on my ads, nor do I accept them. FYI: (Late 60’s ads and up often are just slightly smaller than the earlier years.) I can’t believe I actually have to say this, but you are NOT getting the product, just this advertisement. Also, the USPS has raised shipping rates again. Our shipping costs are actual. The rise in the price of shipping is them, not us. Due to the increases, the flat rate shipping for magazine ads will change on August 1, 2024 to $5.00 from the current $4.00 rate. We never charge extra for any ads purchased. Ebay turns that option on and we have to turn it off and often times we don’t know it’s there. If you run across this, please let me know. WE GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING! Also, unless a customer requests a different method of shipping, we ship GROUND ADVANTAGE. ONLY DOMESTIC USA sales qualify for the flat rate shipping. International customers do not qualify for it and we do not waive VAT fees, as a few people have requested over the years. Please note that some Colliers & Post ads being as old as they are sometimes run colors onto other pages if they had gotten damp at any point in time over the last 70+ years. You should be able to see any ads that have the color run-offs within the photo(s) shown if there are any. Immediate payment is a must, unless you are purchasing more than one item. Please let me know if I can help with any sale. We do our best to get all purchases in the mail as soon as we can. Please check your messages or email for updates on shipping. To see where your package is, you can click on the tracking number sent to you. Non-paying customers are reported. ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND ARE SOLD AS ADVERTISED. Thank you for stopping by! We have many interesting items to offer and have thousands of ads to sell. Stop by often to see what we have for you.
