Sheaffer Advertising Proofs

Listed below are original advertising tear proof sheets from the Sheaffer archives in Fort Madison, Iowa. Unlike regular magazine advertisements, many of these have the name of the magazine and publish dates printed on them. Many are one sided instead of the usual two sided magazine ads. Colored ads are exceptionally brilliant. Great for framing and a neat little piece of history!
