An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 10" x 14" [25 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Buy and Keep War Bonds, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) War Bonds poster ("Protect his future") encouraging people to buy war bonds, and featuring a Ruth Nichols image of a smiling child being lifted into the air. Artist: Ruth Nichols Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned several examples of two larger versions of this war poster (22" x 28" and 29" x 40"), but we have NEVER auctioned an example of this small 10" x 14" version! Note that many people, including collectors of World War II posters, are not aware that a large percentage of them were made in a number of sizes. Sometimes there would be a very large size around 40" x 56", but it seems that this was reserved for very special posters. There were ones that measured around one-sheet size (sometimes 28" x 39" or so), and then there were ones that measured 20" x 28" or so. But even advanced collectors often don't know that there were also even smaller versions, one around window card size (14" x 20" or so), and one around 10" x 14"! These smaller sizes are far more rare than the larger ones (we imagine they were only sent to places that had very limited display spaces). We are currently auctioning 32 of the ones that measure around window card size and 22 of the ones that measure around 10" x 14". These were consigned by a very longtime collector who also consigned 23 of the larger sized ones, which we will be auctioning in our Thursday auctions. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire some of these very rare smaller sized World War II posters! Finally, note that all but one of these smaller posters were printed on thin paper and many were once folded. This means that all but that one (which is on a heavy stock) can be sent rolled with rolled posters, and the formerly folded ones could be re-folded and sent with small flat items. This will be the choice of the new owner, and will depend on what other items they bought that these can be combined with. If you win one of these items, please note your preference on how you want them sent when you pay for them. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
