Auction History Result 4c0004 MEN WANTED 28x42 military recruiting poster 1940 young men of good character & sound physique! Date Sold 4/13/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Navy Military Recruiting Poster (measures 28 1/4" x 42 1/4" [72 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Men Wanted!, the 1940 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front recruitment poster ("Young men of good character and sound physique, between the ages of 18 and 31 years are needed to fill the stations created by the present expansion program for national security"; "Apply Now!"; "United States Navy") encouraging all able-bodied citizens to enlist in the U.S. Navy. Note that this poster is dated 1940 at the bottom, so it predates the U.S.'s entry into World War II, showing that at least some in the government realized that the U.S. would surely soon enter the war, and were starting recruitment drives! Finally, note that we have seen three very similar posters to this one that were all created in 1940 as well, but each of them has a different title area, so we have listed them under each title ("Enlist in the United States Navy", "Men Wanted", "United States Navy", and "Young Americans"). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. There are some creases scattered throughout, but otherwise, it has survived in really nice condition! Please look at our super-sized image to get a good sense of the exact condition of this item.
