A Linenbacked Advertising Poster (measures 26" x 40" [66 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Holton is a brass musical instrument brand that was founded in 1898 as a used instrument shop by American trombone player Frank Holton in Chicago, Illinois. The business remained independent until it was acquired by Leblanc in 1964. The firm built brass instruments for ten years in Chicago, then in Elkhorn, Wisconsin from 1918 until 2008, when production of Holton-branded instruments moved to Eastlake, Ohio, and they still make and sell musical instruments in the present day! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this special advertising poster, where the "Neil O'Brien Minstrels" posed for a great artwork image of them all with Holton instruments ("America's Greatest Band Instruments"), to help them sell more musical instruments. Oddly, even though the Neil O'Brien Minstrels were a traveling group of blackface minstrels from the 1910s to the 1920s, this poster depicts them without blackface! What IS linenbacking?

It had some creases and tiny tears in small parts of the borders, and just a few creases scattered in the poster, with a 1 1/2" tear near the center. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone long ago mounted the poster onto thin linen with no excess. Learn More about condition grades
