Thank You Ron.... It's great to have a thread of this type going again. I have tons of vintage paper material with all kinds of vintage art work printed on it, no I'm talking cash..I wish... more like old advertisements, signs. Posters and such.. most all of it is from vintage magazines. I collect advertiement pages and covers from old magazines, and not from my collections car magazines. They come from mostly National Geographic, Life , Post , and others. Seeing 41 GMC K-18's post reminded me of where it was that a bunch of my collection came from , a few years back my brother contacted me about a estate sale that he was prepairing ....well I ended up with every issue of Popular Mechanics from its first issue in 1933, I believe it was , up through untill 1965. Plus mostly all of Popular Science, and others in the same date periods and upon going through them I found that the old man that they once belonged to had kept different items filed in them....cash, his first drivers license, old car titles, etc. After moving several boxes , and I mean several, of them around it was time they had to go....offered them for sale ..cheap then free ..nothing...so they mostly all went to the recycling center...but not before I removed the advertisement pages and some covers from every one of them . Including car ads and every automotive related ad. Motorcycle, Travel, pretty much every ad page. So thanks again Ron ...now I have a place to show them.

Wow Pumpman that is a wonderful poster! In the late eighties I was living in Seattle and had a chance to purchase 4 different Signal Gas and Oil posters that were found in the attic of an old gas station. Unfortunatly raising 4 children they were outside my budget. 1 more car I promise, Rex Winter Dry n windy Lubbock TX
Thanks Rex, I almost sold it and my wife almost killed me so it ain’t going anywhere. We really like it.
That is the ONLY reason to collect that I relate to. You like what you collect. I don't relate to the guys who collect just cuz it will make money. 1 more car I promise, Rex Winter Dry n windy Lubbock TX
My Mom is 93. She loved to draw. We were cleaning out (no...not her drawers) a closet yesterday and I found this she did in 1943...she was 15. She did lots of Vargas-type girls, popular WWII drawings. Sent from my SM-S320VL using Tapatalk
That's SOOO COOL! I'll bet your mom was a real cool kitten back then. Definitely very talented! Thanks for sharing. Ron.... Sent from my SM-G920P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Oh yes pin up girl calendar's....reminds me of the visits to my aunt&uncle's house when I was quite young . Couldn't wait to get there so I could go out to the garage out back to see what the latest Hot Rod my uncle was building...actually it was more to see what the latest playboy calendar on the wall looked like. most of one wall in his garage was covered with playboy calendar's, each year the new one's would go up next to the previous year and so on..plus there was some magazine centerfolds mixed in. It didn't seem to be a problem with my dad of me being exposed to the fine art display....but one day mother came out to let us know that she was going up town with my aunt, and noticed the art display....well for awhile I noticed that I seemed to be cleverly restricted from spending so much time in the garage...it didn't last to long...then I was back...and them naked girls were there waiting for me....in my mind anyways.
