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.



The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us?

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 ;)

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.
