Date Sold 9/7/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Special Poster (measures 15" x 20" [38 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Girl Scout Cookie Time, the 1972 poster promoting the sale of Girl Scout Cookies, and featuring colorful Saul Bass art of King Kong clutching a Girl Scout Cookie atop the Empire State building as airplanes fly around him. Note that, while you wouldn't immediately realize it, the wonderful art on this poster is by Saul Bass! It is verified that it is, because it was contained in the 1979 publication "Saul Bass & Associates 1979 IDEA Magazine Special". One wonders if Saul Bass didn't consider having Kong holding a Girl Scout cookie in one hand and an actual Girl Scout (a la Fay Wray) in the other, and perhaps this was considered and rejected as being "going too far"! This special poster is printed on a heavy window card-like paper stock and measures 15" x 20", and was surely intended to be displayed where Girl Scout cookies were sold. It is beyond rare! Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that, while you wouldn't immediately realize it, the wonderful art on this poster is by Saul Bass! It is verified that it is, because it was contained in the 1979 publication "Saul Bass & Associates 1979 IDEA Magazine Special". This special poster is printed on a heavy window card-like paper stock and measures 15" x 20", and was surely intended to be displayed where Girl Scout cookies were sold. It is beyond rare (this item, and several other rare Saul Bass items, were consigned to us by a very longtime Saul Bass collector who painstakingly tracked down these items over many years!). This is a great opportunity to add rare unusual Saul Bass items to your collection. Note that we will also have a group of 20 rare "rolled" posters with Saul Bass art from the same longtime collector in our auction of "special" posters that begins on October 1st. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a horizontal crease that runs through the upper part of Kong's image, passing through his nose and shoulders (see our image). There are some creases and tiny brown stains around the edges, with faint brown staining near the center of the poster by the yellow plane, and a faint line of brown staining down the right of the image, most noticeable in the background. The card has had no restoration. It can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have restoration performed. Either way, the new owner will have a wonderful and ultra rare poster! Learn More about condition grades
