Large lot of 103 vintage Mead’s Fine Bread advertising emery boards / fingernail files.
Each features colorful period advertising reading:
“GOOD ’N FRESH – MEAD’S FINE BREAD – SOFT-TWISTED”
These are wonderful pieces of mid-century bakery and grocery advertising memorabilia. Period documentation shows Mead’s using its “soft-twisted” advertising campaign by the 1950s. Mead’s Fine Bread operated bakeries in Texas and New Mexico and marketed its products under a common regional advertising program.
103 emery boards total. The lot includes multiple sizes, with the larger examples measuring approximately 6 inches long.
Also included is the vintage Wisconsin Homestead cardboard box in which they were found/stored. The box is included with the lot but is not represented as original Mead’s packaging.
The emery boards appear largely unused/new-old-stock but have been stored for many years and show varying degrees of age, toning, minor marks and storage wear. The cardboard box shows considerably more age and storage wear.
Please review all photos carefully for sizes, condition and printing variations.
You will receive all 103 Mead’s Fine Bread advertising emery boards plus the storage box shown.
