Velvet Peanut Butter & Pin up gurls! The kitschy advertising art of Gil Elvgren

 

Picked this relic a while back...guessing from the late 1940's/early 1950's. Pin up girl art was the rage and Gil Elvgren was the man for the job. 

Just your standard cheese cake gurly paintings...with a bit of ol' Detroit throw in for good measure. 

The last "sassy Lassy" has the Velvet Peanut Butter logo on Santa's bag 'o goodies! Obliviously a bit of frivolous advertising for around the shop or office back in the "mad men" era.

Just more rare DETROIT & VELVET artifacts....I know....youse welcome.
