On a recent rainy Saturday morning, I ventured out to a promising estate sale on beautiful Monument Ave. Arriving an hour late, I wasn't expecting much but I think that the wet weather kept people away because I snapped up some pretty hard-to-find items. The estate had some great advertising smalls but I was pleased to find this 1960s Swiss railway poster in great shape, framed.
The man of the house worked for Amtrak and collected some nice transportation items. I picked some nice Pullman Railway china including a sweet 1920's Pullman teapot w. lid. I was walking out the door and noticed a cardboard tube. I bought it for $5. It contained over a dozen of these...
These are from the early 1970s by a pretty collected artist named David Klein. The colors are perfect and there are no creases or holes but, unfortunately, there are water and dirt stains on them. If they were mint, I would be a very happy boy. In addition to the posters, I bought some nice early advertising cafe match strikers, beer steins, etc. right.
