Sepia Prints Related to Vintage Gas & Oil Companies

Buy Sepia Prints at Quality Junk on Atomic Mall

This post has been inspired by a recent posting on a friends blog related to Gas & Oil advertising. The post is on Vintage Treasures by kittenstreasurechest Here's a link: http://kittenstreasurechest.wordpress.com/2009/06/19/gasoline-and-oil-company-advertising/ .

These are from a set of over 1000 historical sepia prints. Prints are 11" x 14" on heavy card stock. I was selling them at swap meets and malls in the 1990's. I see these on sale as being much older or even as originals, but they are not. I'm fairly certain that most of these are no longer in production today. I have less than 100 different left on my Atomic Mall Store, but most of the Gas & Oil related ones are gone. I am showing them here because I find them very interesting to the history buff. I will add to these as time permits.

Buy Vintage Military Prints at Quality Junk on Atomic Mall





About ten years ago I stumbled across a large quantity of military prints that came from a bankruptcy sale by a large military dealer. I have sold most of them over the years but still have a couple of hundred left. They were originally distributed (according to my source) by a west coast company called "Prints of Wales" right after the Korean War in the late 50's. I know from the numbers that I did get that there were probably100 prints in the set. I have never seen all of them as there were only about 80 numbers when I got them. With very few exceptions they are all in their original shrink wrap packaging. I have around thirty different left and have just finished putting them all in my Atomic Mall store. In many cases I have duplicates available but some of the more incredible shots have now become one of a kind. Almost all of these are Navy and span the period from WWI to the Korean War. Get 'em while they're hot. when they're gone they're gone.
