I have a ton of old photography magazines. One of the odd things about looking at them is how people complain that the ads are ¾ of the magazine, but when they get old and the articles lose their relevance, it's the ads we look back at fondly.

These are advertisements that I find particularly amusing, nostalgic, informative or just plain odd.
