RH, it would be helpful to folks here if you could say which company's advert you are looking for.

Sorry meant to say advertisements. Anything really, food, drink or fashion. Not something Television companies tended to keep I am told.

Scroll down the page a bit. You'll come to the date, 1960s.

If you can get hold of the Thunderbirds Videos put out in the early 1990's then some of them have 60's adverts for Zoom and FAB lollies featuring Fireball XL5 and Lady Penelope!

Check out this old ad for Winston cigarettes by the Flintstones from the old black & white TV daze. Eerie.

WYSTWYG, That's my email address, which is Irish for my county Armagh. There is a member on the site who uses this as their name. No relation at all.

The Robert Opie Museum collection had just such - along with many advertisement media. The used to be in Gloucester Docks (UK) but I know not where they vanished to.

The FLINSTONES advertizing cigarettes!!! Of course, lots of celebs did that back then...it was "cool" to smoke; even had "Kool" cigarettes. What I riot though. We don't have any cartoon sit-coms any more with the innocence factor of the Hanna/Barbara series. I can easily see Cartman on South Park, or Homer from "The Simpsons" these days. LOL & LOL again! Great link, Cluin!!!
