The aim of Vintage Stuff is to display some of the ephemera that I have collected, often inadvertently, over the years. I am now deliberately seeking out interesting old adverts, screen shots, leaflets, obscure record covers, picture postcards and illustrations; anything that catches my eye, in fact. They will be mainly, but not exclusively of UK origin (so many vintage blogs appear to be American) and almost always a scan from something that I actually have in my collection, rather than off the net. If you do re-blog, please acknowledge the source. Further stuff, mainly photographs, can be found on my Flickr pages, via the Benny Hill record cover.

I love the body copy..."rendezvous at the Ritz" or "rallying with your club"...the aspiration is oozing out from between the lines, aimed at all those dull managers of middle England. In artwork terms, the justified right layout with the guy's face pushing into the text must have been quite difficult with a knife and cow gum!
