Currently my oldest Campbell Soup ads are in the late teen's, with some possibly going back as far as 1910. As many as three kids can appear at a time in some ads. Color ads are rare prior to 1930, but even the B+W ones of that era, have some red in them. Trains- Pennsylvannia, New York Central, The Chessie System, B & O, Sante fe, along with many others, can be shipped today. Also many wonderful articles about trains, and the men of the rails can be found as well. What a great way to augment your collection, with antique advertising.
