This amusing bot will post scans from old joke & novelty catalogs, creating much merriment.

It goes without saying that I'm not selling any of these items, although many of them are still for sale.

Content Warning : Many of these old novelties will involve tobacco products in some way.

If this bot is malfunctioning or causing problems, please contact its operator @apLundell

Hold on tight.
