1950s Smirnoff Vodka Buster Keaton Celebrity Print Advertisement — Original Cowboy Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1950s Smirnoff Vodka magazine advertisement stars Buster Keaton — Hollywood's legendary 'Frozen Face' comedian — in full cowboy regalia, deadpan as ever, clutching a Dry Martini with the headline 'Don't Shoot, Buster, That Martini Is Made With Smirnoff!' The original print ad captures Smirnoff's irreverent mid-century campaign that transformed vodka from a novelty into America's spirit of choice. Keaton's silent-era gravitas paired with the absurdist Western staging makes this collectible ad a standout piece of entertainment and spirits history, sought by both Hollywood memorabilia enthusiasts and vintage advertisement collectors alike.
