An Original Vintage Unfolded World War II Poster (measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Save for Security, the 1941 U.S. World War II (WWII) War Bonds poster ("Buy Defense Saving Stamps here ...this store/hotel makes Savings Stamps available to encourage thrift and aid our country's defense") encouraging people to purchase Saving Stamps, and featuring an image of a statue of a colonial militiaman. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned a larger 22" x 28" version of this poster, but we have NEVER auctioned this smaller 11" x 14" version! It was created on a heavy board, so it can't possibly be rolled. 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 36 of the ones that measure around window card size and 24 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! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
