anton67 Posted September 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2015 Hello, I picked this up with a bunch of other items and I want to know if is is authentic? I suspect that it is not but before I cut it down and put it in a poster frame I want to make sure. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROBS Posted September 24, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 24, 2015 reprint .. the originals will have markings in the margins with date/office that produced them/etc. also, originals are on matte paper and usually have folds because I believe they were mailed out folded flat.

anton67 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted September 24, 2015 Ahhh. I was told that sometimes that stuff was cut off. But what do I know. I figured it was a reprint by the paper that was used and how glossy it was but I just wanted to be 100% sure before I stuck it in a poster frame. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted September 24, 2015 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2015 this is true.. I have had a few where the whole bottom part that said "buy war bonds" or whatever other message was down there was cut off. so not 100% but the paper is a big giveaway and also the type of printing it looks like laserjet.

anton67 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted September 25, 2015 Its still going to look nice in a poster frame in my office. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I just didn't want to mess with it until I confirmed one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Finn Posted November 25, 2015 Share #17 Posted November 25, 2015 For the record, most WW2 posters were folded and shipped flat, but I have owned more than a few that were rolled up in their original cardboard tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of government posters were indeed machine-folded, whereas most of your privately-printed i.e. GE, Lockheed, General Motors, etc, etc were shipped rolled.
