In Reply to: Use of vintage advertisements... posted by Terry Russell on November 20, 2000 at 09:47:14:

: Some time ago, I started reproducing vintage ads for use on note cards that I used in my personal correspondence. These are old advertisements from the 30's through the 50's (they relate to a specific hobby and depict companies that, for the most part, remain in business today, at least "brand name"-wise) and are reproduced from the actual original ads in my posession.

: Many recipients of these cards have asked me to make and sell these cards, but I question the legality of this.

: Would I be in violation of any law if I were to in fact make and sell these cards without first gaining permission to do so?

: Thanks for any information.

: Regards,

: TR

Dear Terry Russell,
If there are copyright notices on the ads you might be in trouble.
