For museums looking for quality content for their websites, there is an
excellent library of free art films (in streaming video format) available on
the site www.abovestream.com.  Any of the 500 films can be added to your
site by simply pasting a link into your pages, your site does not have to
host the videos on its server.

These may not be exactly the same thing, but the Missouri State Archives has
trademarks-- lovely four color ads or labels-- from the first part of the
20th century. They were reproduced in an issue of Gateway Heritage Magazine,
published by the Missouri Historical Society (314) 746-4500 for their
library; they can look it up for you or call (314) 746-4559 to speak to
someone in the publications dept. I mention it because you might be able to
find other labels or trademarks in your state library.

Otherwise, I have seen authentic labels for sale by the paper & ephemera
dealers in the local antique malls (Missouri, anyway.)


Good luck,
