I love old ads and a lot of people do especially if they have the item being advertised. We have so mush paper lying around that we could remove the ads from the magazines we decide to trash or have dupes of and sell them in the gift shop. We can just put them in comic book sleeves which come with a white board backing. I don’t know, $2.00 to $3.00 each? They may sell. Steam or Wireless.

Chris,
Interesting ads--always fun to read.
I don't think the museum is in the business of buying anything at the moment; we need to get a handle on all that's here first. After that we can come up with a list of holes in the collection that would be important to try to fill, and start to identify where they might come from, gifts or, last resort, consider a purchase.

Speaking of Pathe Cathedral Speakers, These 1927 paper ads are for sale on eBay, not sure if the museum would want to buy and frame them possibly.  The ad doesnt mention the light inside the speaker that I can see.
According to the CPI Inflation calculator, $30 in 1927 is about $439 today
