Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 A few 1950s Westinghouse time capsules from my TV advertising collection. https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A"Westinghouse+Commercial" I have a huge vintage print advertising collection as well as the TV commercial collection. I've been working on getting it scanned, but very slow going. There is somewhere in the area of 45,000 to 50,000 8.5x11 to 11x14 large format ads from the late 1800s to the 1960s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne Summers Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks for sharing! I love watching old commercials. I've been noticing some popping up occasionally on facebook where someone has been showing them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 I never was into commercials. Within film collection circles there are only so many areas of collection. Commercials is one of the areas. One day I got ahold of an old 16mm commercial about the Slinky. That got me interested. I've put up more of the Westinghouse commercials since I opened this thread and still have more to do. This one is pretty interesting. 'The Westinghouse Automatic Twin Juice Fountain' And look at the old glass milk bottles the milk man would delivery daily. https://archive.org/search.php?query=Westinghouse+Automatic+Twin+Juice+Fountain I also put up one about Westinghouse Nuclear Power from the 1950's.

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted November 12, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted November 12, 2020 There's some fantastic moments in Mona Lisa Smile where they're aping the style of 1950s commercials. I think this may be possibly the most misogynistic thing I've ever posted on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
