Very Scarce Framed Winchester Double W Lithograph Bullet Board
- These lithograph boards were produced c. 1902, and represent the
older 1897 style cartridge boards without having any physical cartridges attached. The board is mounted in a 3 inch broad flat wood frame that measures 57 1/4 inches wide by 39 3/4 inches tall, with a gold painted border around the 49 inch by 31 inch green board. In the center of the display is a vignette of two Winchester-armed hunters behind a dead bear in a woodland scene. It is flanked with a moose head and a mallard in flight. Over 100 cartridges, bullets, and primer tins are represented in the “Double W” pattern. This board saw the addition of some new cartridges that were not represented on the 1897 pattern board, as well as a repositioning of the mallard so that it is not blocked by “cartridges”. CONDITION: Fine overall with generally only mild wear age and storage related wear. The imagery throughout is distinct. There is a gap along the upper edge of the lithograph and some mild scratches and marks. This highly desirable Winchester advertising bullet board is a perfect addition for a gun room or office.
Estimate: 8,500 - 14,000
