Type of Advertising: Cardboard Hand Fans

Date of Creation: Circa 1930s

Authentic, highly collectible vintage 1930s cardboard promotional hand fans advertising Alka-Seltzer. Fans measure 9 1/2\" x 8 1/2, with the sturdy wood stick falling below the bottom of the fan by 4 1/2\".

This piece was originally distributed to pharmacies, drug stores, and diners by Dr. Miles Laboratories during the Great Depression era.

One fan is double-sided and features classic, whimsical comic-strip style illustrations by the famous 1930s commercial artist G. W. French. Man walking with his wife and son and bragging about being free from headaches. On the other side, 3 men going to work on the train and bragging about a 4 AM party and still off to work today. The other fan is also double sided and has an illustration of the Alka-Seltzer package; while the flip side has ad copy on the benefits of Alka-Seltzer. There are a few rounded edges and some creases but overall very good condition. From a pet free and smoke free home-the fans have no odor. Only fans like these on .

I have other Alka Seltzer fans on and will combine shipping if more than one listing is purchased. Significant postage savings.
