1948 full-page (10 ¼ x 13 ¼ ) Christmas ad for Hamilton Watches

Title- “Hamilton…a triumph of American Genius”- the understated Christmas ad shows a wife looking over a note from her husband who is thanking her for marrying him.

Vintage magazine ads offer a fascinating glimpse of real-life history, an archive of what advertisers thought the world wanted. Ready to trim, frame, matte or laminate, these authentic classic ads can add to the unique decor of your home, business or showroom.

Suitable for framing my ads are authentic, and carefully cropped from original publications. Come see my Antique Advertising webpage at /antiquead2 .

History- (from Wikipedia) The Hamilton Watch Company was established in 1892. During the expansion of the railroads in the US, Hamilton maintained over 56% of the market. Railroads purchased all of Hamilton's production. As the market switched from pocket watches to wrist watches after World War I, pany manufactured wrist watches. During World War II, Hamilton retooled its business model to serve the military, dropping its consumer products.

pany's first series of pocket watches, the Broadway Limited, was marketed as the "Watch of Railroad Accuracy," and Hamilton became popular by making accurate railroad watches. Hamilton introduced its first wristwatch in 1917, designed to appeal to men entering World War I and containing the 0-sized 17-jewel 983 movement originally designed for women's pendent watches.

Condition- This ad is in acceptable condition but it has a tear in the right hand side. The ad is sold untrimmed and unmatted.

I live in Porters Lake e into Halifax/Dartmouth once a week to meet buyers. See the link to my other ads in the upper right corner for more great ads, magazines, and books. I have several other ads that are not yet listed. Let me know if you’re looking for a specific subject pany.
