Date Sold 6/30/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded World War II Poster (measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Let's Get in and Pitch- to Smash the Son-of-a-Sun, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Let's go, everybody - keep 'em firing!") encouraging increased productivity, and featuring art of a crowd "pitching" giant bullets at Japanese Emperor Hirohito, as well as a firing airplane! Note that the poster was produced by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors Corporation of Lansing, Michigan (during World War II, Oldsmobile pitched in to the war effort and made war machinery!). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable group of around 100 guaranteed authentic mostly war posters (around 75 war posters, plus 25 others, including political ones) mostly dating from before 1900 through 1945, with 15 from after that date! These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these more than 100 posters! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the left and right borders. It has two tears in the bottom border and someone put paper tape on the back of that area. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
