ARTIFACT:
This is an early World War II United States Coast Guard recruitment poster. The poster is graphic and brilliantly colored, with a "Remember Pearl Harbor" theme.
This poster came to us originally period-mounted on board, in a period frame. An interested buyer backed out once they realized the poster was mounted on board.
Finally, we found an amazing poster restoration shop, and gave them the poster to make better then original.
The poster was safely and professionally removed from the board, and mounted to museum grade linen.
The poster now looks like a million bucks!
We are making this listing "live" again, but have not had time to make new images. We will do so in late March or early April if it makes it back form the upcoming big shows.
