This probably doesn't qualify as "finding" old products but if you want to see some cool old signage etc check this out:

We found this place last month. I loved it.

I found a Madonna record outside of an abandoned apartment complex once.

Got a picture of it?

Here's mine. It was hard to choose, but the irony of the cassette title clinched it.

Strong taste of liquor got you feeling down? No need to panic, according to this 1950s ad, it's still considered manly if you add a sweet mixer ;)

I found a whole issue of Business Week from 1943. It featured an article on creatively coping with the labor shortage in Detroit.

Dow Chemical, Midland, Michigan


Ryerson Steel, Detroit, Philly, Boston


GM


Detroit Diesel Engine Division


Truscon Steel, Youngstown, Ohio


Bohn Aluminum and Brass had their offices in the now-demolished Lafayette Building in Detroit


Parsons Paper Company, Holyoke, MA (victim of arson a few years back)


Evans Products Company, Detroit


Fairbanks-Morse Motors, Michigan Ave, Chicago


Lehigh Portland Cement Company, Allentown PA and Chicago, IL


Freihauf Trailer Company, Detroit


Master Motors, Dayton OH


Kaydon Engineering Corp., Muskegon, Michigan


Rochester wire ropes


Century Crane Motors, St. Louis




Bread for you... Bombs for Tojo! Check out the blurb at the right about how 75% of their workforce building aircraft carrier superchargers are women.

It's ironic that in old mines when you come across a dead-end drift with catalog pages laying around on the ground, that it's the latrine...

Arntzville, amazing find! Love the WWII advertising.

Truscon Steel was a subsidiary of Republic Steel which pretty much owned the town I call home from the 1940's until 1972.
