Not very big images, but amazing to see hundreds and hundreds of these old posters all together and looking good. The page was made by illustrator Bob Staake, who’s got a great style which is clearly influenced by this era.

As I’ve mentioned before I’m off on a 6 month hike in a few months, there’s a couple of things I need to do before I go; save some money & get a someone in my room to pay my rent. What this equals is saying good bye to some of the stuff I’ve been hoarding over the years. Hopefully this should raise a reasonable amount of cash and ease the burden removals and storage.
So over the next few weeks I’m going to become a part time ebay seller, you can check out all stuff I’ve listed so far here. Everyone knows how addictive buying stuff on ebay can be, it often surprises me that more people haven’t got into selling, it can just as addictive! Especially when you get a load of money for something that you were just about to throw in the bin. But it can be a bit of a chore carrying everything down to the post office, so that’s why I’m going to do it all in little chunks.
I think I’ll have a few interesting things up for grabs, first up this week I have Vintage Leica IIIF, an old first aid tin, a pair of 70’s headphones, a couple of petrol powered remote control cars, a zombie fancy dress outfit, an original painting by me and a couple of rucksacks.
Go on have a bid!
Wow, The American Library of Congress has an amazing Flickr Set of the 1930-40s Great Depression & World War II era.

Neocles has a nice collection of vintage matchbooks on his Flickr. Cheers for the link Nicky :) Also while there I stumbled across the Smooth Smoke Slogans that “Satisfy” pool, check it out for some great vintage smoking empheria.
Just came across this early VCR timer add on at the Rewind Museum. Love the fact that it’s so enormous for such a basic function (suppose back in ’72 in wasn’t so basic) and the flippy-flappy clock is amazing.
“I admire the card as a medium for artistic expression and communication. Marveling at the typically tiny size but also the concept, story, meanings and design subtleties. Then I am absolutely captivated by the endless possibility for expressing an individual, a philosophy, an aesthetic or concept through the design with type, copy, materials and processes…”
Daily Poetics has a huge collection of nice business cards. And also an interesting blog with more nice things

Not quite sure what’s going on here, but it doesn’t look good… Planet Tyler has an interesting collection of medical diagrams on flickr.
This chap isn’t looking too well either:
Oobject’s an interesting gadget site where visitors can suggest and vote on things in each category. It’s the categories which I like such as; Fantastic Vintage TVs, Stunning Rayguns, Beautiful Lighthouse Lights, Sky Captain Gadgets & Vehicles, Biggest Gimmick Bottle Openers and a new one added each day.
Cheers for the link Nilesh.
