1940s Ads Pt. 2 - PIC HEAVY

[hmhaines]

Found a bunch of ads in my small collection of Popular Mechanics magazines from the mid-late 1940s. I'll upload in two parts to make it a little easier for people to load the page. I noticed that my Popular Science magazines from the same time period were devoid of any tobacco ads, which is mildly interesting.

Awesome stuff! And thanks to that Bauer & Black ad, I now know I'm tired after work because my stones are draggin'. All these years I thought it was the other way around.

Get yourself a suspensory, you'll feel so much better!

 

[pagan]

I love these old ad's, $5 for a LHS pipe, get em while you can

 

[jpmcwjr]

Excellent! The pipe ads are the bomb, but all the others are interesting to say the least.
Poor mfg. of fuel pumps with glass bowls! And the "shallow water diving apparatus". Gone like the wind..

I had to Google "suspensories".
Ahem.

 

[dottiewarden]

Great nostalgia!
Thanks for sharing.

These scans are treasures.

ZECOL Scum Remover should be in every pipe restorer's refinishing kit.

 

[hmhaines]

Let me know if anyone wants a larger image of any of the ads.

 

[jvnshr]

Nice pictures again.

I love these old adds. Keep em coming.

 

[hmhaines]

That's all I have for now, Anthony! I do have a stack of old car ads that were pulled from magazines, but I doubt there are any pipe ads on them. I'll take a look soon and post if I find anything.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

This reminds me.. there's a local antique "wharehouse" that has stacks and stacks of periodicals from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Next time I'm there I'm going to flip through a few.

Very cool. It's always fascinating to thumb through old magazines, especially science ones!

 

[hmhaines]

Bumping this for kicks.

I wanted to write for a free booklet from John Middleton The Walnut aromatic blend but its a parking garage now. Im so depressed that ill never experience that rich, natural, nutty flavor :crying:

 

[oldmansmoking]

Fantastic, thank you for posting. Great nostalgia.

 

[aldecaker]

@Roddy-
I guess everyone has one particular bygone tobacco they really miss, and Walnut is mine. I make my own sorta-kinda version of Walnut, but it's nowhere near the same.

Old White hall ad from when they were made in my home state.


Guns and pipes. What's not to love about this ad.



Does this count as an advert? The ghostly remains of the LHS factory in New York.
