3 Advertising Finds This Weekend

This is a lovely old 1960's Chevron clock, quite large actually (18' x 18") . We are keeping our fingers crossed that it can be repaired, then it'll light up. Over the years we have sold quite a number of these types of clocks but this kind of thing is getting harder and harder to find so I was very impressed when Mr VM brought this home the other day.


The coffee container below would have been used in a store. The condition is fantastic, which is always an issue with advertising pieces. It is 14" wide x 19" long x 20" high so it's a great size. The colors and the images are really vibrant - great for a kitchen.
"Coffee makes us severe, and grave, and philosophical."
Jonathan Swift

This Maxwell House coffee can held 15 lbs. Again the colors are vibrant and overall condition is great.


"Coffee leads men to trifle away their time, scald their chops and spend their money, all for a little base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stinking nauseous puddle water."
The Women's Petition Against Coffee 1674.
