If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the owner of these posters had them professionally linenbacked, and they are ready to frame and enjoy on the new owner's wall (and they will look incredible side by side!). Note that these posters were advertised on boxes of Wheaties cereal, and you could either get one poster for 35 cents and two Wheaties box tops (or 50 cents plus three Wheaties box tops for both posters) to receive these by mail! The only writing on them is a tiny "A11640 c TLR Printed in U.S.A." on the Lone Ranger, and "A11641 c TLR Printed in U.S.A." on the Tonto. While we are sure many kids ordered these, we would think the vast majority of them were taped or tacked to walls and ended up being destroyed! In this auction, we are offering both the Lone Ranger and Tonto posters. The last time we auctioned a set of these posters, they sold for $1,900! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Both posters had some creases and tiny tears on parts of the folds, with some tiny bits of paper loss. They both had some faint stains in the bottom, with some small tears in the borders. Overall, the posters were in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the posters "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. They could certainly be displayed as they are, or one might choose to have additional restoration performed, either with or without re-backing the posters. Learn More about condition grades
