Phillip Morris 1942 Original Vintage Ad with Johnny Roventini
$9.99
“Real protection added to finer pleasure,” is the theme of this 1942 original vintage advertisement for Philip Morris Tobacco. The ad features featuring Johnny Roventini who became known as Johnny Phillip Morris. He is in his famous bellboy costume and as an adult was 47 inches tall and weighed about 59 lbs. He was originally employed at the New Yorker hotel and was promoted by the hotel as the “smallest bellboy in the world.” He and Phillip Morris were also early advertisers for the “I Love Lucy” show.
The ad is 5x14 and half a full page. It is in very good condition and will be sent uncut on the original page it appeared. Please see both scans.
Vintage advertisements and articles are becoming more and more collectible for their nostalgia look and unique eye-appeal. They also are suitable for framing and are becoming more scarce as the supply of vintage paper products continues to decrease.
