Desirable Winchester Single “W” Cartridge Display Bullet Board - This advertisement displays the large variety of ammunition produced by Winchester from percussion caps up to the massive express cartridges and large gauge shot shells. The ammunition is displayed in a large “W” pattern, and additional cartridges are organized in star and circular patterns as well as lines of shot shells on the sides. The board displays a dark brown woodgrain background, “WINCHESTER/REPEATING ARMS CO.” at the top in bold red and yellow lettering, a pair of ducks at center, and vignettes of two hunters in the woods with a Winchester rifle aimed at unseen game and a cowboy using his horse for cover as he engages a distant foe with his Winchester. A few assorted cartridges are absent from the board (see photograph). The frame is a custom replacement. The overall display measures approximately 35 x 48 inches. CONDITION: Good, the board itself has a large horizontal crease across the middle with
some associated minor cracking, some mild flaking around the edges, and a few other minor creases. The cartridges generally show an attractively aged patina with some scattered minor surface oxidation. The 20th century replacement frame is very good with some mild wear and scattered minor handling/storage marks. A desirable piece of Winchester advertising that would be a welcome addition to any fine Winchester collection!
Estimate: 12,000 - 17,000
LOT 1007
Rare Framed Lithograph Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Henry R. Poore “Bear Dogs” Advertising Print - This Winchester print was used in a variety of Winchester advertisements and depicts a barn setting with white “bear dogs” in the foreground and two large brown dogs that may be bloodhounds in the background. These dogs were reportedly part of the Winchester family hunting pack. The lower left corner is signed by the artist “H. R. Poore/Philadelphia”. This example of the print includes a printed “frame” that has the markings like many of the original stenciled walnut frames
had. (These are far rarer as few survived, most were trimmed down!) The plain walnut frame measures approximately 39 3/4 x 49 1/4 inches, and there is a thin gold border around the print.
CONDITION: Fine, the print showing only slight fading with some repeated vertical moderate creasing visible, mostly concentrated on the right side of the print. The cartridge board frame is very good with some mild handling/storage wear. A great piece to hang in a gun room or study!
Estimate: 8,500 - 13,000
