Note that the items in this lot are mostly from the 1940s. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of the front and back of each.

Please bear this in mind before bidding on this cool original art. Condition: very good. Each of the paintings was done on illustration board. Each has been matted. The paintings have some very minor scuffs or smudges (see our images). Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
