The name Winchester has been synonymous with finely crafted American made firearms since 1866. This Vintage 1960s “HEADQUARTERS FOR WINCHESTER RIFLES and SHOTGUNS” Horse & Rider Banner Tapestry is in Very Good Condition, with some seam tearing at the back right edge of the top seam taping, some scattered brownish soiling around the front, some scattered yellowish cloth and black paper residue around the back, and with some overall age wear evident. Most interestingly, it’s crafted of artificial white silk, measures 28 3/4” x 19”, and boasts “HEADQUARTERS FOR / WINCHESTER / RIFLES and SHOTGUNS” in large blue and red flock type printing at front, centered by Winchester’s classic “horse and rider” logo in blue flock printing, and bordered by gold scrollwork flock printing at each upper side. The tapestry sports a thin gold cotton hanging cord at top, along with a wooden stiffening rod with “ball” ends in a seam along the top, features matching gold cotton fringes along the bottom, and exhibits matching gold vinyl edge piping. It carries the original “UNION MADE / BY / HOLLYWOOD BANNER / NEW YORK 16” maker’s label at the top right back, with the presence of a postal zone in lieu of a ZIP code denoting pre-1963 manufacture, and is a fine example of a rare, original Vintage 1960s “HEADQUARTERS FOR WINCHESTER RIFLES and SHOTGUNS” Horse & Rider Banner Tapestry.
