Date Sold 8/1/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 11 3/4" x 18 1/4" [30 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) Buy War Stamps & Bonds, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) War Bonds poster ("Lexington, 1775 They fought for Freedom We fight to keep it"; "Independence July 4, 1776 They kept the faith and so do you every time you lend a dime for War Savings Stamps"; "John Paul Jones said: 'I have not yet begun to fight'"; "Fight with war stamps & bonds"; "Washington crossed the Delaware to win our freedom, we cross oceans to keep it!") encouraging the public to invest in war stamps and war bonds. Note that this poster features great art of two different colonial leaders John Paul Jones and George Washington in battle, and above them were a scene of Lexington and Concord, and a scene of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. There were dotted lines around the four images, and these were intended to be trimmed into separate posters, but certainly some people kept the poster untrimmed! Artist: James Henry Daugherty Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11 3/4" x 18 1/4" [30 x 46 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. 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 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! Finally, note that all but three of these posters were printed on thin paper and many were once folded. This means that all but the three (which are on a heavy stock) can be sent rolled with rolled posters, and the formerly folded ones could be re-folded and sent with 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
