Yes. Their vintage advertisements are collected from old magazines, brochures, posters, estate sales, and flea markets, with material dating back to the 1920s. The Barracuda item you linked, for example, is specifically described as an original vintage magazine advertisement.
No. The signs and thermometers are high-quality reproductions of classic/vintage designs. They are made to capture the appearance and nostalgia of the originals rather than being original vintage pieces.
The original ads are professionally dry-mounted onto acid-free foam board. They are then finished with a white conservation mat to enhance the colors and provide a standard framing size. The Barracuda ad you linked uses this process and is paired with a white mat and satin-black wood frame.
