I am a 42 yr old guy from Canada. I have been collecting one thing or another since I was a kid. Recently over the last year or so I have become crazy for vintage/antique advertisement items with a focus on soda signs and advertisement pieces.

Over time I will continue to post pics of the many pieces I have acquired so far... So, hope you enjoy them and I'm looking forward to viewing all the cool pieces this site showcases. Regards from Canada, J.Diggs (Read more)
