Planters Peanuts Repro Collage
Ridgewood, Queens-
taken March, 1999

Here is a snippet of e-mail written to me by my buddy Kevin Walsh who also has an historic website called Forgotten-NY.com: "Hey, we've both been taken in by that Planters Peanuts ad in Ridgewood. A few days ago I got the news that that ad was painted in 1985 when they were filming Brighton Beach Memoirs....I may have to start a page with amazing re-creations, since I have three of them now."

Walsh also has a shot of a reproduction done by Universal Pictures based on the "Syrup of Figs" ad on Greenpoint Avenue (ad #24). It was done for the film "The Siege" and is called "Sauce of Figs."
