This is a tremendous original old antique example on a heavy die-cut cardboard stock with bright crisp sharp lithography - sadly it has endured some condition issues in the years since its manufacture in the early 1920s - the surface has numerous pinholes and corner losses and edge wear that have been touched up somewhat effectively with cobalt colored paint. Still, this would display well in your collection and might look even better when framed under glass.Measures 11\" x 17\" with original easel back for stand up display.100% guaranteed vintage and original as always from Grapefruit Moon Gallery!CONDITION:In good to perhaps very good condition not better - with pinholes and losses and some significant paint touch up in the corners and along the edges. Still displays well overall and would look great framed, the easel back is still intact. The images provided here are very clear and show all areas & damage and corner touchups and give a very accurate overall sense of the cosmetic appearance of this old advertising Americana display sign from the art deco era.
