Default find at a flea market

Allen & Ginter along with Duke seem to be the most prolific of the tobacco companies when it came to advertising their products (and these are the posters you see most often). I'd say the ground floor for one in decent condition is 1500-2000.

Like Barry said, the A&G Indian banner brings major interest because of the popularity of the set. The last one I remember selling was in a Mastro auction about 2 years ago. It brought somewhere around 15000 before juice.

Was it about 5 years ago I got mine Jay? I remember it was around X-mas because I told myself this was my Christmas present to myself. Mine is still the only one I've seen with the metal hanging strips attached yet. For those who don't know what I mean, there was a metal strip at the top and bottom of most banners. The top strip had a metal loop for hanging while the lower one "weighted" the bottom down when hung.

They had to be eye catching and certainly were. I like you too Jay .
