Step into a bygone era of classic Americana with this lot of 8 vintage advertising ink blotters, each measuring approximately 9 x 4 inches. These blotters feature charming pin-up illustrations that were commonly used in mid-century advertising to capture attention and promote businesses, in this case, ATCO, INC. and Antimite Termite Co.Each blotter displays a playful and vibrant pin-up girl, epitomizing the art and style of the period. They were not just promotional items; they served a practical purpose in an office setting where fountain pens were the norm, and the risk of smudging was mitigated by the absorbent quality of the blotter paper.The reverse side of the blotters is typically plain, intended to soak up excess ink, but the front is where the magic happens, with each blotter boasting a vivid illustration that is both a piece of art and a slice of advertising history. These blotters capture the spirit of their time, with artwork that ranges from whimsical to mildly risqué, always with a sense of humor and a nod to the allure of the pin-up.Collectors of pin-up art, vintage advertising, and mid-20th-century memorabilia will find these blotters a nostalgic and authentic addition to their collection. Each piece tells a story, not just of the company it advertises but of an era when everyday objects were infused with a sense of fun and flair.
