picked this up with a very rough VV-80, did you know in the later years victor started fitting them with electric motors out of a majestic radio/phonograph combination.

Just wanted to share the period advertisement. It was much to large to scan all at one, so I did a pretty good job of reassembling it in Photoshop.

Great scans. I really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing.

This is a perfect example of advertising. It tries to create a need where none existed. The same concept is still in use today!

Charming advertising art indeed! I love this stuff. And they seem to be playing Red Seals on the boat and by the campfire. ( Cielo e mar and Stride la Vampa respectively.)
