Old Comic Book Ads! Did anyone ever purchase anything advertised?

Yoc:
Thanks guys!

And here's the Ghost Rider mask you could have bought for $1 from an ad in Tim Holt #26 (October-November 1951).

And a sample of the real thing on the wall of a comic shop.  Picture found online.

More Fawcett premiums...

I did buy those x-ray specs way back as a kid, had fun wearing them at school.
Funny, the teacher made me take them off, like they were real!

Also bought the submarine they advertised some years later, I was very surprised when it came in the mail and was a flat package.

Turned out to look NOTHING like the picture, of course, and was all cardboard.

I remember even further back an ad for Thor's hammer, I always wished I could get that!!
Fun memories!

More 1940s Fawcett ads. I bought the flying Cap Marvel back then. Also, all the decals - which I transferred to the walls & furniture in my room. It was neat to be surrounded by my comic book friends. Not to mention the wonder of the decal-transfer process for a 6-7 year old!

Nice Captain Marvel watch, but out of price range for most kids in my neighborhood. That price would have bought 60 comics back then.
