Description

Who knows where Mom picked this up? It looks like one or the other of us in our family had this up on a wall at some point in time. I mostly remember seeing this sign stashed in the basement, where it sat for at least 50 years that I know of.
Kept out of any sunlight, the colors and graphics have weathered the years well.
The sign does have some small "issues."
On the face of the Ram, there are three tiny tiny specks of graphics missing. (Shown in photos.)
On the "Turn Back This Flap" flaps, top and bottom, there are holes in each corner.  Two holes in one corner, at top, and one hole in each other corner. They look to be nail holes and not thumbtack holes.
There is one small tear-----precisely 3/8" long-----on the left side front edge. I have shown you this tear, viewed from the front and back.
There are six sticky pad squares, which someone attached in order to hold the sign up on a plaster wall. There is one sticky square at each corner and one on each side----all on reverse side of sign.
There is some light smudging on the back side of the sign. Probably dirt from the basement, is my guess. (Please refer to photo.)
Also: insects nibbled on the sign, mostly on the borders/side edges. There are some other tiny areas where the insects fed on top layer of the sign.
I don't see ANY insect damage to the Ram or Blue Ribbon or any part of the colored print areas . . .
The sign does have its original "easel stand" part at the back. The stand is in very good condition. A bit rare to find the still-attached stand with these larger signs.
(The easel shown holding the sign is not for sale.)
If you have any questions or need to see more close-up photos or such like, please contact me.
Thank you for looking.
