Winchester has always had a way with advertisements of striking the perfect combination of sentimentality and impending adventure without coming across as saccharine. This Vintage 1950s Western Winchester Pheasant Hunting Framed Advertising Poster is in Fair Condition, with heavy wrinkling, tearing, and tape repairing throughout, several scattered small holes throughout, a few scattered small nicks to the edges of the frame, a vertical tear in the upper left back of the black paper frame backing, and with moderate overall age wear evident. Most interestingly, it remains beautifully mounted in a 44” x 30” carved brown wooden frame, boasts an elegant illustration of a pheasant in full-wing flight at front, with an armed hunter trailing in the background, and “Western / WINCHESTER” in large red lettering at the lower left front, and sports a metal hanging wire across the upper back. This poster was one in a series of four similar designs copyrighted in 1955 by the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation (parent company of Western Winchester); the other three designs included a squirrel, rabbit, and deer. An honest example of a rare, original Vintage 1950s Western Winchester Pheasant Hunting Framed Advertising Poster.
