A fantastic RAREitem. Original old Masey-Harris, 44 Tractor, Elephant Power Billboard. I found this billboard out on the East Coast a couple of years ago. I displayed the whole billboard at an antique show last spring so I was able to take some photos. The pictures show all 8 panels posted onto 8 foot tall by 4 foot wide foam boards. This is an all original billboard from the 1950's and is a lithograph on 8, heavy weight sheets of paper. There is some creasing in the original sheets as they were folded inside a dresser. However the originals were always folded when sent out from the producer as the sheets are too big to send flat so this is common with the old billboards. If you are truly going to put this up you should be able to work the creases out pretty well when it is mounted or glued up to its final spot. The whole billboard is approximately 19 1/2 to 20 foot long and about 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall when put up. There are some condition issues and it is not perfect, it was packed away for years and never used but there is yellowing to the paper in places (shown in photos) and some variation in the white parts of the paper with a bit of spotting, which I tried to capture in some of the photos but it does not show real clearly. There are some smallish rips and tears along the edges and a few slight tears along a few folds, some read more
