I'm not sure if manuals, literature, and advertising count as memorabilia but here's what I have to offer. Pictures aren't the best but they get the job done.

What are the bottom 4 items used for? That is one awesome collection you have. It really amazes me how items like that survived all these years. Glad you put it out here for all to enjoy!
Thanks
Mike

I'm not exactly sure what those bottom items are for. They are embossed and say imprint on them. I think they may have been given to the dealers to use for advertising in the local newspaper?

When I have a couple of hours to kill I will try and scan some of it and make some pdf's that can be downloaded. The newsletters are kind of interesting.

BRIDGESTONE MEMORIBILIA
This is a Bridgestone Dealer ashtray from the 1960s from the UK. It was given to me by my friend Steve Murray. Remember he raced a 50cc motorcycle for Bridgestone.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for sharing this info. Rockford's closed circuit television dealer meeting was state of the art for its time. Lou Emery had some good ideas. I didnt know the 350 was going to be the 350 Cobra.

I found a Bridgestone patch and the seller said it was from the 70's. I have never seen one like it so I had to Grab it. It measures 11 1/2 x 4 inches. If someone has info on It let me know.
Thanks

You are correct, those were the artwork for newspaper ads. You furnished them to the newspaper along with the dealer info you wanted placed in the appropriate places.

Alright, I nailed 2 birds with one "stone"

(or something like that) Anyway, glad I could be Santa's helper for a day.

Randy, when you frame it, you might want to consider doing it so that both sides of the brochure are visible. That way you could flip it around to show others the GTR's handsome brother. I know some families have kinfolk they're not so proud of..... but what has whitegto ever done to you!

Moonpup you and my wife are on the same wave length , she suggested I have it framed like you described.
Great Minds Think Alike

Thanks
