Woodsy, As an enthusiast for retro-style space images, and a one-time collector of cigarette cards (in my days in the playground), I often prowl ebay to see what's about. Two interesting discoveries pictured above- a 1959 set of ABC gum cards about space which I had never come across before, and much odder, some cigarette cards form 1939 with space images! I have cleaned them up in case theyr'e useful for the blog.
Best wishes,
Andy B.
PS. Beautiful cards AB! Thanks for sharing. The 1939 images are amazing!
Great stuff! Just wanted to point out, the third image from the Mitchell's Cigarettes cards is a still from the 1936 film Things to Come.
ReplyDeleteoohhhhh ... is it the gun they are building, Richard?
ReplyDeleteI love cards like these! No.45? That is quite some camera with a zoom lens they've mounted on those tracks! LOL
