Taste Changed
Naughty Nellies ★ Pinup Ashtrays with Advertising ★ Thread Color Charts ★ Linoleum Sample Books ★ Hairdresser Magazines ★ Figural Matches ★ Figural Toothpicks & Snuff Scoop Compendia ★ Bookends ★ Bubble Gum Indian Cards
Naughty Nellie, c. 1880. Hand-painted cast iron, 9 1/4" high. USA
Taste Changed addresses the disappearance of formerly desirable goods and the services they represented because taste changed and their forms became passé, no longer appealing to those who had used them (ex: linoleum sample books, figural toothpicks, hairdresser magazines, pin-up ashtrays with advertising, bookends, figural matches, Indian bubble gum cards, Naughty Nellies).
