Up for sale is a group of 1960s and a couple of 1970s Illustrated Current News Posters. I believe these were given to stores to hang in the windows to help promote sales. All are in nice condition, some honest wear here and there, but nothing significant. They are really neat posters which would display nicely if framed, measuring approx 16 x 20 inches. The posters have fold lines (as issued), no tears that I noted, but if you have any specific questions on any, please e-mail me at:
docp@ptd.net
Buyer to add $3.50 shipping for as many as you like. ***Posters will be shipped folded*** Paypal gift/money owed please to address above.
