A 1965 U.S. commercial for Supp-Hose, a brand of stockings. Please forgive me, as my copy is in black-and-white (I don't have the colour version). Picture quality not up to my usual standards.

A British commercial. It's a shame this commercial wasn't filmed in 3D. Although cigarette advertising on TV was illegal on UK television by that point, cigar advertising remained legal for some time afterward. I found this ad as an easter egg on the DVD release of ITV sitcom  Down the Gate.

A collection of US commercials for products you can no longer buy. Forgive me if there's any mistakes. Sometimes the brand is still around but the exact product is gone (such as with "Futurama" lipstick by Revlon), sometimes both the product and brand are gone (such as with "Tip Toni"). Some only exist in-name-only, while at least one product is no longer available in the US but is still sold in another country. The commercials are mainly from the 1950s, along with some from...

1980 commercials. There's a brief commercial for TV Guide, a spot (with Dick Van Dyke) for fire prevention (the encoding is pretty bad in this), and then a funky spot for New York City's "News 4". Fun! (note: I say "1980 commercials" as they come from a tape recording made that year. That doesn't mean they were made that year, though the TV Guide ad certainly was, as it promotes an issue with "Dec. 27 1980, Jan 2 1981" on the front)
