Due to the age and thin transparent nature of the paper ad being preserved and protected, some of the print and/or images from the reverse side of the page MAY SHOW THROUGH from the back to the front of the item.
These ads are difficult to locate as not many were produced and were more often than not, trashed, shortly after being published/read. Very few survive to this day as they were only available for a maximum time frame of ONE WEEK ONLY!
This piece is in excellent condition and has been laminated against heavy stock backing for both protection and visual enjoyment
Please Note: Photo size, clarity and quality is limited by web server. The item you are viewing is in fact, quite crisp, clear and colorful and free of any blemishes and/or bright spots that may appear on your screen.
This rare promo ad would look great in a standard size wall frame or presentation stand
