r/pinupadblotters

A community for collectors of pinup advertising ink blotters from the 1930s to the early 1970s. Ink blotters were a form of advertising during that time and many featured the pinup art work of Gil Elvgren, Earl Moran, Joyce Ballantyne, Al Buell, Ted Withers, etc. They are easily collectible items printed on sturdy stock like a baseball card and usually come in two sizes 6 1/8" x 3 3/8" or 9" x 3 7/8". The left side (or top) features a pinup and the right side advertising.
