This one kinda looks like Handejector back in the dayA pic or two from some older magazines and catalogs I rediscovered a few years ago.

It's funny how this thread has taken on two different lives, one here, and the other over on THR. The "Marmite" detour (that I participated in along with others) was determined to be outside the scope, and deleted, but the pictures there seem to be of a bit of a different nature than what is seen here.
And just to keep with the theme, here is a picture that I posted over there as well, commemorating my .30-06 Model 721 from 1950 that is still on duty:

Memories of all of the gun mags perused in my youth, LOL.

Why don't all of us get on the band wagon and keep this going. Lots of memories!

Here's one of my favorites. It's from The New Yorker, I think. July 1928:

Onomea,
I hadn't seen that one before, thanks. Any guesses as to what year, since they talk about the .32 & .38 Safety, and no mention of the Hand Ejector?

Sistema1927, I think it is 1928, per the upper left hand corner.
The ad does say, "...Call on the nearest reliable dealer today. Let him show you his splendid stock of Smith & Wessons, including the .32 and .38 calibre S. & W. Safety..." So the implication that there are plenty more models available is there.
(Like that snooty "calibre."
)

Missed that first time around. Thanks.

I think that it was that exact Glock ad that led me to buying my G-26 during the 94 ban. If you had to be limited to 10 rounds, why not carry 10 rounds, and a couple of quick 10 round reloads?
