Tandem ephemera

Tandems have been often featured as subjects of art, advertising or illustrations. Such uses are often fleeting in nature, and when such material is collected it earns the fancy name ephemera.

Ephemera is transitory written and printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved. The word derives from the Greek, meaning things lasting no more than a day. Some collectible ephemera are advertising trade cards, airsickness bags, bookmarks, catalogues, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, postcards, posters, prospectuses, stock certificates, tickets and zines. Decks of personality identification playing cards from the war in Iraq are a recent example.
From time to time I will stumble on interesting tandem ephemera images, and so I created this thread so as to have a place to collect and share.

I thought this nice. They called the shampoo itself Tandem, the bike needs to be identifed, and I can't decide whether the captain or stoker is cuter.




If anyone has or finds interesting tandem ephemera images, please post 'em here!
