VINTAGE GENERAL TIRE billboard. Some rips/tears on the edges but nothing major… Adds to the vintage look if anything. Great as a stand alone or in panels in a man cave or take a whole wall in your living room. Here’s more info I found online.. Are these vintage billboards or reproductions? Each billboard is an original new old stock (NOS) vintage paper advertisement. These billboards date back to the mid forties through the mid sixties. We have no reproduction billboards in our inventory. Are these posters or full-size never displayed billboards? These are not posters. These are new old stock N. S vintage full size billboards which were never displayed. The average size is approximately (19 ½ ft long by 8 ½ ft wide). Billboard sizes vary from 19 ft x 7 ft, up to 22 ft x 10 ft. What is the definition of N. New old stock (abbreviated NOS) refers to merchandise being offered for sale which was manufactured long ago but that has never been used. Such merchandise may not be produced anymore, and the new old stock may represent the only market source of a particular item at the present time. Are these billboards made out of paper or plastic? All the billboards are made out of paper that is about the thickness of a sheet of printer paper. How rare are these billboards? These billboards are quite rare, as most billboards made of paper were displayed then scraped off when they were removed. They have a date range from the mid 1940s through the mid 1960s. Our billboards are original and have never been displayed before. How did you determine the price of each billboard? Prices of these ads are based on the style of artwork, the product being advertised, and the age and condition of the ad. Are these billboards one sheet of paper? Each billboard comes in several different pieces. The average number of pieces is around 12. Each billboard varies from six to 20 pieces. These pieces are laid out and overlapped to form one large billboard. Each billboard is in a bundle where the pieces are folded together. Since the billboards are folded what can be done about the folds and creases? These billboards have been folded since the day they were made. You can decrease the sharpness of the folds and creases by laying each piece under something heavy such as sheetrock to help flatten them out. Some ads appear a little crooked. We lay the billboard pieces on the floor to photograph them. Its difficult to get them perfectly straight due to the folds in them. How do most customers display their billboards? Most customers frame the billboard and hang it on a wall by making a frame out of 1 x 3 boards. If you use light weight boards the frame is easier to hang. Over head lights are a nice touch if youre trying to make a replica of a vintage billboard. Our billboards have been displayed in many different ways. These ads make wonderful displays in family rooms, car garages displaying antique cars, restaurants, bars, antique malls, flea markets, and museums, etc. The item “Vintage Billboard ORIGINAL GENERAL TIRE NOS NICE COLOR” is in sale since Friday, September 16, 2016.
