PIN-UP GIRL & ARCTIC BOY

FLEA MARKET FRIDAYS #70      

Hmm...who knew Sterling Cooper had the DeLuxe account. By the looks of things, they found the perfect model to pose with a galvanized Arctic Boy cooler. The above photo is a real production piece for an unknown ad for the DeLuxe metalware company from St. Louis, Missouri. I was lucky and recently found a small assortment of ad items from DeLuxe. Galvanized buckets and metalware is way out of my collecting jurisdiction, but when you find a one of a kind photo like this, you snap it up! The two images below are proofs. Too bad the original ad was missing from the packet.

No pin-up girl here, just an original artwork of a bucket. You gotta admit that's a nice looking bucket!

 Found in the packet is this original cake pan insert. Too bad it wasn't a cheesecake pan instead.

 Always love anthropomorphic veggie people. Click on the above photo to see 'em up close.

Here's a catalog prelim of a super pail. Yeah, I know, not too exciting. OK, maybe this will be better. Cue the ZZ Top and check out these photos. Are those the legs of June Cleaver?
