A hockey player in a cigarette advertisement. Camel was clearly willing to make that connection and let the reader sort out the logic.

This original 1937 page features Herb Lewis of the Detroit Red Wings. It’s a crossover collectible for hockey, tobacco-advertising, and sports-endorsement history. The attraction is the period image and sales strategy, including the rather ambitious use of an athlete’s reputation to sell something unrelated to scoring goals.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10.25 × 14 inches.
• Approximate date: 1937.

Condition: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate toning and light edge or surface wear. Please inspect the photo carefully; the exact item pictured is the item you will receive.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
