Until they closed their doors just recently, Remington had been the oldest American gunmaker, in continuous operation since it was founded by E. Remington in Ilion, New York in 1816. About a century later, in 1912, Remington merged with Union Metallic Cartridge Company, a massive ammunition manufacturer, to form a new powerhouse, Remington-UMC. This Vintage 1920s Remington UMC “ECONOMY 4” 12 Gauge Shotshells Die Cut Cardboard Advertising Poster is in Good Condition, with moderate scattered scuffing and surface tearing at the upper, middle, and lower left front, a very small hole in the upper middle of the “REMINGTON / UMC” red ball at the upper left side, a small tear in the top join of that red ball and the red cartridge at the right side, some scattered surface tearing at the upper and lower right front, some scattered scuffing to the corners and edges, some scattered dark soiling around the front, and with some overall age wear evident. Otherwise, the poster is in fine shape, with no other damage to the fragile die cut cardboard construction. Most interestingly, it measures 15” x 14”, remains well protected with a tight fitting plastic wrap securing it to a poster board backing (this is a perfect temporary means of protection until it’s framed by the next owner if they so desire), and bears the classic “REMINGTON / UMC” red ball logo at the upper left front, a box of Remington UMC Economy 4 12 Gauge shotshells at the lower left front, and a well executed depiction of one “ECONOMY 4” shotgun shell at the right front. It dates to the early 1920s, and is a fine example of a very rare, original Vintage 1920s Remington UMC “ECONOMY 4” 12 Gauge Shotshells Die Cut Cardboard Advertising Poster.
