    Description

    Offered for your consideration is a sign or poster advertising the 1923 International Textile Exposition and Power Show in Boston, Massachusetts.  Sign indicates that the event was held from Oct. 29 to Nov. 3, 1923.
    I discovered this behind a mirror in an antique cabinet I am refinishing, used as backing support.  It is very well-preserved, with the left side trimmed slightly to fit behind the mirror. Printed on heavy card stock, about the weight of quality mat board. It measures 18” by 11 1/2”, so the original size was likely 18 x 12.  The trimming does not in the least diminish the beauty of this fabulous piece.
    This in not perfect, as I have tried to capture in my photos.  There are nail mark indentations on the edges, which will be invisible when matted and framed.  Not certain the professional term, but I will say some minor age mottling on the face, which does not seriously detract from its beauty.  It gives it character, attests to its authenticity, and I attempted to capture that in my photos.
    Overall great condition for being nearly a hundred years old.  I wiped it off with a soft dry cloth, but can probably use a good cleaning.  I’ll leave that to the buyer, as I am not a professional, and don’t want to screw it up.
    Fabulous graphics, as shown.  This piece has been hidden away undiscovered for nearly a century, and needs to be proudly displayed on someone’s wall or in someone’s collection. Please feel free to ask me questions.  Will look incredible framed and matted.
    Shipping USPS flat rate Priority Mail cost of .00 is to United States only.  International buyers should contact me before purchasing to arrange for shipping.
    You would pay this much at Walmart for a cheap reproduction.  This is the real deal.  It is such a beautiful piece that I might decide to pull the listing and keep it for myself.  Thanks for looking.
