Vintage pipe tobacco ads

[drrock]

I'm looking for vintage pipe tobacco ads to print & put up in my little workshop. Any links to good sites that have show vintage ads?

Here's a massive thread...

It's a huge jumble and a bit of a mess, my later historical posts have more focus,

like these...(my interest is mainly in the old UK tobaccos)

...there's more, but that's a good grouping.
A google image search of specific brands usually gets a lot of results too.
One of the best compilations I've come across is this wonderfully titled blog,

Good man, Troy. I knew you'd come through.

Another idea is stop by your local antique store and browse the ubiquitous piles of old Life magazines. Some of them have full page pipe and tobacco ads you can cut out, mount and frame.

Thanks for the tips - exactly what I'm seeking!

Troy
You are the man!
I think I'd like to get some posters framed of some of these ads
Have you are anyone else done that or know where they are available?
Thanks

You can find some repro signs,

I've come very close to getting this one, I need to go ahead and do it while the gettin' is good I reckon, it's a fair price and looks very well done...

Posters would be very cool, and they have excellent crisp scanning nowadays at the print shop, I've never had it done though.
For normal sized stuff, I agree with tuold, find the old magazines, especially the oversized ones like Life, and the printing quality is top notch --- I have a few old copies of Punch with absolutely beautiful printing but the ads are small.
The sellers on eBay who cut out ads and sell them for like $10+ really piss me off, there are many I've seen that I'd like to have, but dammit if I'm gonna pay that extortion rate, I'd rather seek out the whole magazine which can usually be found for the same price as one of the cut-out ads...

While recently looking for a Wally Frank catalog I came across these images online. They may help if you are simply looking for photocopies.
