Sylvania SUPERFLASH - 1949 Advertisment



Hey everybody! It’s Monday Night Vintage Night!

Don’t remember Monday Night Vintage Night? Cool. I run this website and neither did I until I came across it while cleaning up some old blog entries. But what the heck, I’m sitting on tons of old camera advertisements, and advertisements have that weird paradox where people hate them when they are current, but the adore them when they become old and outdated. So lets spin up some more Vintage Monday posts!
