Vintage Knitting Advertising

Any type of vintage advertising gives up a snapshot into the past, and that's very true concerning vintage knitting advertising, which is fun to see, because of the focus and in some cases, new contraptions made to help the prospective knitter.

It's fun to see this Nomotta ad for yarn, selling itself on the premise that a "little bit of yourself goes into everything you knit." Having a mom and daughter dresses alike with the knitted hair is a humorous touch.



This 'Knitting Jenny' ad is great. It was a precursor to modern marketing, and is fascinating in how it uses, back then, the same techniques to sell their product. Not only that, the product is very cool, and I'm sure it was a very compelling product for moms to acquire for their daughters. Anyone remember it?



In this final piece of vintage knitting advertising, we see this image of a mom and her daughter dancing in joy over the apparent ease of use of the "Hero" measure knit, which included a ruler on the knitting needle to make it easier to use. Fun and creative stuff for the day.



This was an enjoyable look for me at past knitting advertising. I'm sure you got a chuckle out of it and memories of times you had in the past when you started your own creative streak.

Vintage, Collectible Coca Cola Ad Posters

Ad posters from Coca Cola over the last 70 years or so were fantastic, and there's little doubt when you glance at one that it was made by Coca Cola, as it has that unique look we've all come to recognize.

They are a piece of history for sure, and reminds us of much simpler, innocent and desirable times.
Another important part of the Coca Cola advertising is you always recognize it's Americana; it wasn't something overtly done, but done out of who we were as a people. You still feel the sense of who we were and are as Americans, or if you're not an American, who we were, but to a lesser extent today, who we are.

That America has gone, at least for many people, although there is a significant number who cling to what we were and represented at the time.

As far as the art work, it worked well with the characters and props associated with it, while Coco Cola was viewed and included as one of the joys of life that accompanied who we were.

Vintage Advertising | Knitting Magazine Advertisement

Vintage Advertising

Vintage Advertising is a lot of fun to look at and gives us a snapshot of what life was like in the days of yore.

In this image, we have an advertisement from McCall's Needlework magazine from the fall and winter issue of 1950-1951.

It fascinating to think of women celebrating moving from a cloth tape measure to knitting needles which had them built right in.
