If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the owner of these posters had them professionally linenbacked, and they are ready to frame and enjoy on the new owner's wall (and they will look incredible side by side!). Note that these posters were advertised on boxes of Wheaties cereal, and you could either get one poster for 35 cents and two Wheaties box tops (or 50 cents plus three Wheaties box tops for both posters) to receive these by mail! The only writing on them is a tiny "A11640 c TLR Printed in U.S.A." on the Lone Ranger, and "A11641 c TLR Printed in U.S.A." on the Tonto. While we are sure many kids ordered these, we would think the vast majority of them were taped or tacked to walls and ended up being destroyed! In this auction, we are offering both the Lone Ranger and Tonto posters, and with them is the original mailing envelope they were sent to the purchaser (Todd Smyth) in, and it has a printed mailing label on it from General Mills, and that will be mailed to the winning bidder of this auction together with the posters.

Both of the posters had minor fold and border wear, with a few faint smudges in the white background areas. Overall, the posters were in very good condition prior to linenbacking. They were both well backed, and will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
