OldAdCards
(1 item)
My mother has a collection of many old advertising cards. they are all front and back printed. This one is for a Wood Acorn stove. She has all sorts of them. Most seem to have been printed in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Most are in remarkably great shape...is there a market for these? Thanks!
There sure is! Of course, it varies by item advertised (you can do a search on ebay for 'trade cards' to get some idea) If you look at this item I posted recently...

... you will see two such cards that we included in the framing job. Products that are still made (John Deere, for example), feature unusual products (such as weird typewriters), or part of American folklore are particularly sought after. Rare is the one that is super valuable, but they sell well for $3 to $5 in my experience.
Oh, and if there are any for DeLaVal cream separators, you just might have hit a jackpot!
