U.M.C. CARDBOARD SPORTSMAN ATTENTION NITRO CLUB AND ARROW SHELLS ADVERTISEMENT

U.M.C. CARDBOARD SPORTSMAN ATTENTION NITRO CLUB AND ARROW SHELLS ADVERTISEMENT This lithograph full color advertising hanger dates to around the time Remington merged with UMC circa 1911-1912 to promote the rather new smokeless powder Nitro Club and Arrow brand shotshells. It features four dapper gentlemen each pointing a double barrel shotgun directly at the viewer to get its point across as well as an appeal to the upper crust shooters of the time at the better East Coast shooting clubs. It measures 8" x 12" (not counting frame) and remains bright and clean with no apparent fading but does show some minor edge chipping. The shooters are not identified as were the Winchester trap shooters used in their advertising of the same time frame. A wonderful piece.

Estimate:$700
