People try to sell these advertisement
pages from vintage magazines on eBay all the time - usually for ridiculous prices.
It's hard to believe anyone actually pays for them, but there must be enough to
make it worth while for the seller to go to the trouble of photographing and posting
the pages. If you are satisfied with either viewing the page online or printing
out a copy for your hobby room wall or scrapbook, then search through the
AirplanesAndRockets.com website to find many
instances of vintage advertisements (see list at bottom of
page) - and I'm adding new - like the full-page ad by
Berkeley Models, ones
frequently. Here are two other Berkeley Models ads from the
December
1954 Air Trails and
July 1957 American
Modeler.
Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
inflation calculator to see
what items cost in today's dollars.
