Kelloggs Sugar Smacks (1966)


Back to 1966 and the popular breakfast cereal at that time, Sugar Smacks.  Coming free in the Sugar Smacks packs were these 3-D cut out models of the classic puppet series, Thunderbirds.  To think, these were all the rage back in those days.  Whatever would the sophisticated kids of today make of 'em? 

When Life Was One Big Drag! (More Cigarettes - 1976)


Back to 1976 and long before the advertising of cigarettes became illegal.  More cigarettes looked more like liquorice sticks than cigarettes.  I remember the Menthol cigarettes because I used to smoke them, before I gave up the ghost!

Electric Light & Power Company (1947)

1947 Electric Light & Power Co. #009689
This Original vintage advertisement for Electric Light & Power Company dates back to 1947. Tommy's Dad works for the Electric company. His job is to know what time you and your neighbours start turning on the lights, ranges, shavers, percolators and toasters in the morning. He is the man who tells the power plants when to send more current through the wires.
