Some early cool adverts

[GLADIATOR]

Thought you may like to see, these early adverts I just got for my collection.

First a 1916 WALTHAM advert (from a UK paper) - Showing a soldier in the trench wearing his Waltham watch - Cool.


The next two are English adverts for SWISS watches sold through London Jewelers. The first I LOVED 'FUMSUP !' - 'The Good Luck Mascot'
Interesting 15kt?


Here is the last I bought it because I also have the badge top left - Royal Army Medical Corps!

Very cool!

My father in law loves antiques and a while ago, while looking through an old magazine, he found a Waltham advert.

He took the page out, framed it and gave it to me.

It's pretty cool, I will post a pic in a bit.

Hi Chip
That is a GREAT advert.
Any date on it.
Looks like the style GRUEN adopted later.
Interested in a date
and look at the price of those watches $200 to $325 - That is a FORTUNE!!!

Thanks for posting it

Lots of money indeed.

You could buy a car with that amount back then.
