Ransburg 1950s Tole Painted Accessories Ad Pictured on Jumbo New Magnet
SKU: M2166
|
|
| | | | |  | | DESCRIPTION | This large-sized magnet pictures an advertisement from the 1950s for Ransburg enamel tole painted kitchen and bath metal accessories, including cake covers, bread boxes, waste cans, tissue boxes, paper towel holders and canister sets. Shown are group in Chinese red, white, pink, yellow, maroon and black, daisy, wild flowers and roses. The Ransburg company was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1911 by Harper J. Ransburg. Ransburg products were as much a staple in the households of my 1950s childhood as Rubbermaid products are today. Bet there was at least one Ransburg item in a majority of America's homes. That they were hand painted and located only 3 hours from my home didn't dent my kid consciousness then, of course. It's interesting to see the paper towel holder. In our household, well into the 1960s, paper towel was deemed an unacceptable extravagance; the Ransburgs anticipated the change in that stigma. Harper's grandsons have a great website and book filled with information about the Ransburg company and its products. Harper's sons went on to invent and patent electrostatic painting (commonly known as "powder coating"), that remains today as a primary method for coatings in industry, used to paint everything from automobiles to office furniture. | Magnet size:

Q. Can you personalize or make custom magnets?
Happy to, make dozens every week. Simple text changes to stock magnets are free, including eliminating all text. Just add instructions to your payment or email me after payment.
Sorry, I do not sell magnets of copyrighted images unless you are the copyright holder. |
Q. How strong is the magnetism? Will it stick to my ....?
My magnets will hold a couple sheets of lightweight paper or an appointment card but are apt to fail at holding Johnny's finger-painted masterpiece slathered with a pint of tempera paint, or a stack of coupons. The magnet covers the entire back, which means it's unlikely to be brushed to the floor by a youngster cart wheeling through the kitchen.
Magnets do not stick to all metals. For example, magnets do not stick to stainless steel or brass.

Q. Any special offers?
Every order ships with at least 1 free magnet, sometimes made exclusively for you, always selected with an eye to your particular interests. |
|
Q. Are magnets three dimensional or die cut?
Nope. They are hand crafted rectangular pictures printed on flat, flexible 30ml magnetic vinyl with a protective satin-finish top coating and hand finished edges.
The magnets are roughly twice the thickness & strength of magnetic material found at office supply stores. They are suitable for interior use.
In other languages that's: El imán es una imagen plana. L'aimant est une image plate. Der Magnet ist ein flaches Bild. Il magnete è un'immagine piatta. De magneet is een vlakke afbeelding.
 |
Q. Where are the magnets made and who makes them?
They're made in Elkhart, Indiana U.S.A. by Yours Truly. I'm a 1-lady band so when you buy from me, you deal only with me. If your order is flubbed, your complaint goes directly to the person who has the most to gain by your satisfaction. When preparing your order my goal is to please you enough that you'll send other customers my way and return yourself. |
|
Q. What if I don't like my magnets?
Return within 14 days of receipt for a full refund, including return shipping, up to the amount I spent getting it to you. (In other words, if you decide to fly it here on your jet, you're buying the fuel :). Just
email so I'll know to watch for an incoming parcel. |

Copyrights and images
I do not knowingly sell copyrighted materials. Please contact me if you see an image in my offerings that is contrary to this policy. |
Q. What about durability? Will they damage my refrigerator?
They are kind to your refrigerator; no metal corners to scratch or rust, no plastic sleeves to harbor soil or moisture. The top layer is fused to the magnetic base and does not delaminate. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak, use abrasives or apply cleaning products containing bleach or solvents. I've run them through the dishwasher without disaster, but they'll last longer if you keep them out of puddles, away from puppy teeth, and remember they're not suitable for exterior use.
