Winchester has a knack for combining sentimentality with adventure in its advertisements. This vintage 1950s Western Winchester Weimer Pursell illustrated rabbit hunting poster is in Fair Condition, with tears, soiling & sun fading, water loss damage on edges and is overall brittle. It measures 39 3/4” x 26”. The vivid illustration features a large rabbit in the foreground and a hunter in pursuit against a wintery forest backdrop. “Western / TRADEMARKS / WINCHESTER” is prominently displayed in red at the bottom, with Weimer Pursell’s signature in the lower left shadow and a 1955 copyright marking. This poster is one of four designs released by Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation, with others featuring a squirrel, deer, and pheasant. A rare and striking piece of original Winchester advertising.
