Advertising antiques
Advertising antiques is an area of collecting that combines street jewellery (old enamel signs, dispensers, advertising windows, shop fittings and illuminated signs), ephemera (printed paper and card items) and old packaging (tins, labelled bottles, packets, dummy bars, boxes and counter bins). Made popular during the late 1960s and ’70s by collectors such as Robert Opie (The Pack-Age Museum), this area of collectables includes any throwaway shop display items used to advertise products, or the actual products themselves.
