AACA Library Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 We recently had a research question to find a vertical advertisement for an late 1800s Pierce Bicycle, preferably in color. While we didn’t have a color one we sent along this 1987 B&W ad and the patron colorized it. The final product looks pretty great.

The 1987 version would have already been filled with all sorts of neon colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhocker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 If the inflation calculator is any indication, then yes - roughly the equivalent of between $1,700 and $2,800 in today's dollars. Truly a premium item! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
