It is dated 1888 "Schedules for 1888" is the actual caption. The Poster
belongs to my in-laws. They bought it in 1990 from a deceased Antique
Dealers family. The Prince family. They had a Bakery in Pottstown Pa
and collected for years. We bought many items from them over a 6 1/2 year
period. We also purchased the
very well known "Campbell's Soup" Tin advertising sign from them that is
now pictured in the current issue
of Antique Toy World magazine and sold for $28,000
The poster is in pretty great condition.

Chris
