Blurring the lines between cards and ads

[Leon]

Some of our collectibles sort of blur the lines between cards and advertisements. As a collector of obscure doo-dads that are pre-war baseball related, here is a recent pickup. I sort of wonder if any kid took his Dad's razor box and cut these little cards out in order to collect them? If anyone else would care to show any blurring of the lines, as I call them, please feel free to post them. That being said I sort of doubt there will be too many but it's all in fun!!

Steve, I didn't even think of that! Great point!

Bill, When the kids graduated from my HS. Many flocked to Gillette (or the PD or FD) for that secure career. We were too too dumb. No, too poor for college. They were a great employer, in the day.

Leon, that's a nice item and belongs back home here. That was the year DiMaggio and Williams were all over the papers. A great year for baseball, until December.

Chief Benders Gillette shaving kit from King Gillette himself circa 1910. Shown before but this is the coolest strangest weirdest thing I own. Even has a pack of unused blades.

Another series that blurs the lines (to me).....

That's a really nice item, Leon! I've used Gillette shaving products exclusively since I started shaving as my Dad did before me. If I was a kid and saw that box I would with out hesitation have cut those cards right out!
Thanks for sharing this great item and this should be a nice thread. Hoping to see more similar items!
