I have a poster from the 20′s. It is an Arm and Hammer baking soda piece. It displays a trout breaking water after a fly. It is a lovely and original piece. Would like more info as to value and origin. If you can help please contact me. Thank you, Carl Brock

Of course, the beginning collector must be very careful. Vintage advertising is one of the areas currently attracting the most reproductions and outright fakes.

Before you begin, you should examine as many samples from the period you’re interested in, and learn as must as possible about the materials and techniques used.
