	Advertising collectibles include antique posters such as those of Toulouse Lautrec for Le Moulin Rouge, or the &nbsp;Art Nouveau posters of Alphonse Mucha and especially the Art Deco posters by Capiello who is said to be the father of the modern &nbsp;advertising poster. &nbsp;The porcelain &nbsp;advertising sign developped in the 1880s alongside &nbsp;the enamel metal &nbsp;sign. &nbsp;These signs had the advantage of being weather-resistant.&nbsp;</div>

	Advertisers used means not only to be seen but also to be used, so as to impose the advertising message. &nbsp;From the early 20th C advertising objects appeared such as thermometers, calenders, mirrors, ashtrays, etc. &nbsp;- all great collectibles!</div>
