Blue Gillette Blades Vintage Ad

Blue Gillette Blades vintage advertisement from 1951.

"All over the world good morning begin with Gillette". Seems like even then Gillette blades were the best: "Because the sharpest edge in the world is set to exactly the wright shaving angle in a Gillette Razor".

The design of blades box looks so vintage, I can't believe it's from 1951.

Austin Motor vintage ad

This vintage Austin car ad comes from my "The Countryman" magazine, autumn 1951 edition. The illustration featuring street and Austin car is absolutely beautiful. I have only one problem with this ad: why there is no model name. I'm not a big  expert in vintage cars, but according to wikipedia Austin models list, this one looks like post World War Two Austin A120 Princess and was produced from 1947 to 1956. 

The ad says "Austins are ahead". What an irony, back in 1951 they had no idea that marque Austin will be used only until 1987. After 1987 the Austin cars continued to be manufactured, but under the model name and without Austin badge.

The Countryman magazine, autumn 1951

In our everyday life we are sick and tired of excessive quantity of advertisements, but this magazine I bought because of ads. The Countryman, Autumn 1951 is just a treasury of vintage ads: from 224 pages 67 of advertisements. Although 62 years isn't a big gap of time,  but a lot of things have changed dramatically. In 1951 imperial portable typewriters were worth waiting for, not iPads. Flat tobacco pouches and home canning machines were bestsellers.

Some of them I'm going to post:
