10% OFF vintage advertisement orders over $100. Automatically applied at checkout when your vintage-ad subtotal exceeds $100, before shipping and tax. Cameras and other merchandise are excluded.

A sewing machine ad that decided to comment on your appearance. A bold choice from an appliance.

This original 1950s Pfaff page features a portrait and the headline “If you want to stay lovely, darling, you’re using the wrong machine!” The patronizing sales pitch is very much part of the historical interest. A good sewing-room piece for someone who can admire vintage machinery while giving its marketing department the eye roll it has earned.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10 × 13.5 inches.
• Approximate date: 1950s.

Condition: Vintage page with age-appropriate toning and light edge wear; inspect the photos for the exact page. The exact page pictured is the one 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.
