Finally updated the site - Sheafferflattops.com - with an additional 422 ads! I've added three sections - WW2, PFM's and Imperials, and Targas and Modern. Another 26 ads in Balances and 139 in Touchdowns and Snorkels. My primary area had been Hard Rubber, Flattops and Balances so there had been about 240 ads to start with. Even at 657 ads there are still more to get but, this is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled. Special thanks to Cyndie Reppert for letting me scan her collection (and Dan Reppert for letting me borrow the extra large scanner). Link - Sheaffer Ads

The ads are all in order, at least by year, and the ad names "50-06-14 SEP" is June 14, 1950 Saturday Evening Post, for example. It will always be year (that is always known) Month (often known) and Day (not available as we go modern).

These ads are a great source of information! I highly appreciate it that you took the effort to scan them and make them available to the interested reader. Thanks!

Thanks, Roger! Ads are an invaluable resource. Thanks for making the information freely available and public.

This seems a good place for two TV commercials.
