Tony,
Try browsing the Library of Congress, especially in the American Memory section. The style you're looking for was most prevalent during the 20's to mid-40's. The style was popular with both sides of the big political debates (capitalist/socialist, fascist/democratic) although I think the color schemes most commonly used varied by gang (as forever and today). The style was also much used by organized labor and the film industry, although I think some of the more popular movie posters are for duds rather than hits.
Since they're highly "collectible" these days I'm sure you'll find specific areas for them at eBay.
