About Us

We are Lauren and Eric Woods.  We have known each other since 2000 and have always shared a love of our city.   We have collected vintage and new Buffalo items for some time.  A few years ago, we realized we also have an interest in vintage advertisements.  After we bought our first ad, from Maidenform's "I Dreamed" campaign, we were hooked.  It did not take long for us to fuse out two loves together and we started collecting vintage advertisements from Buffalo companies.

History Buff was born when we were trying to figure out how to display a two inch by two inch advertisement properly.  It was too small to have any impact on our wall.  We decided to invest in equipment that would allow us to enlarge, digitally restore, and produce archival quality giclee prints we could now display in our home.  We enjoyed the product so much that we thought others might too, and started History Buff.  We hope you love these fantastic ads as much as we do!
