Old Engine Ads from a bygone era

Here's a collection at 10 second intervals of Old Engine Ads from a bygone era, there should be something for everyone here in this mix. Make yourself a cup of coffee sit back and relax and get transported back into this wonderful era that we all still enjoy to this day with our engine collections and collecting.

Excellent video, very relaxing.

Bring on the "Tesla Turbine". Has to be better than his ridiculous electric milk floats.

Despite the long and unskippable advert at the start … This is worth a look: https://youtu.be/mg4I2WIYAAM

Thanks all and thanks for the links Michael.

I have the majority of these old ads framed and up on the walls of the room where my steam engine collection resides. The ephemera really ads a touch of nostalgia.

Cheers all,

Jim

Hi all, a very long time ago my friend Jeff was given a Mamod steam engine by a workmate, as his son was pretty mechanically minded we set about giving the little engine a job of work, cue large wooden box to give it some height when standing on the dining table, followed by constructing a crane from Meccano before securing engine & crane on top of the box giving about 4 feet of lift from floor level, drive train by the beautifully crafted Meccano chain sprockets & chain, the little engine gave the young lad many happy hours & a lifetime later he still harks back to it even though he is approaching retiring age & I of course am older than dirt, happy times.
