T206 Old Mill Advertisements

[T206Collector]

Spent a few hours combing through digital newspaper archives -- how fun does that sound? -- and decided to compile all of the Old Mill T206 advertisements I could find. I found 18! How about that? Notice how the running theme is Southern white gentleman and lady empowerment, a reminder of simpler times when the South hadn't yet lost the Civil War. Obviously, these cards are the Southern Leaguers, with Juan Viola(t) poking his head out of the package.

Anyway, show your Old Mills and/or your T206 Advertisements!

Nice Paul. The T206 Resource has some Old Mill ads:

Any chance you recorded the papers and dates? I think they would like to add these.

Wow - great stuff - I hadn't realized T206 Resource had all of this stuff. Cool.

I didn't mark the dates and publications, but you just scroll through these pages and they pop up fairly frequently. This is the search "old mill" in all newspapers from 1909-11.
