Trolley Car Poster Info Needed

Post by Talkophone »

Surely they must by calling the records a Quality Reproduction? You can tell the paper it is on is very old. Says it was printed
in 1929. It is a little ruff around the edges. The poster is 21" x 11"

You can't see it from my Picture but it was printed in April 1929 less than a month after release of the record. Thank You Gene and Clay.

Here is one of my trolley cards and it is an original. They are fun to collect but Victor examples are very hard to find.

I realize that there are many factors which govern a selling price but does anyone have any idea what one of these original trolly posters would go for?

Thanks

Bruce
