VINTAGE 1920s Print Ad~GRAPE NUTS (Postum Cereal~Battle Crk MI)~9.5x12.5~MOUNTED

Description

Welcome to "21TheGreatOne's Auctions"
*****YOU ARE BIDDING ON:*****
VINTAGE (Early 1920s) Print Ad
"POSTUM CEREAL COMPANY...GRAPE NUTS"
("Food That's Fit For a King")
MOUNTED:  9.5 x 12.5
CONDITION: EXCELLENT
Professionally mounted (dark green border/backboard) and ad is set/adhered in the center.
NOTE: "Postum" (later shortened to just "POST" cereals, as we all know it today), shows on the Grape Nuts Box in lower right (BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN...Home of KELLOGG'S!   Made when the two were rivals in the same city!)
Mom in the photo kinda looks like Brenda Fricker!  (look her up), and her "King" is her kiddo (son?) wears a crown, while gobbling up Grape Nuts  :)
Beautiful period artwork.  Color, print and image/art gorgeous and crisp.
(NOTE:  ON the Grape Nuts box in the ad, you will see 2 "smudges/stains"?  (Not sure if this was caused years ago by an ink-error, or when it was being set/mounted.  It does not wipe off.  I tried)
ALL of these MOUNTED PRINT ADS were once in frames, and I acquired them IN frames.  Upon inspection of each piece, it was determined the old frames were pretty much shot.  (Due to age, and likely due to hanging on a wall for 15+ years with no upkeep.)  So, I have discarded all frames and am listing all of the ads accordingly that survived all those years. (They will remain mounted, and ship in plastic protective sleeves, as well as added-support while in transit to you)
PLEASE SEE PHOTO(S) PROVIDED,
as you are bidding on the exact item seen.

I acquire all my items at auctions and estate sales.
I acquired this, and several other at a recent auction held in what was once known as "REO Town" (Lansing, Michigan)...where OLDSMOBILE was once made.  Long closed is most of this and the surrounding area, but I was able to acquire a lot of vintage GM, Mechanical ephemera, Print Ads from a ling-closed diner that sat next to the plant, vintage AFL-CIO-UAW (Lansing Area) vintage, etc.
I will be listing ALL items from this collection accordingly.  I have from this collection, so please be sure to check my other listings!
