Gorgeous cardboard easel-back advertising display measuring 23" x 32" at its widest and highest points. The piece advertises Gillette's sponsorship of the World Series broadcast as well as the World Series Special of Gillette razor. The razor is displayed on the ad piece featuring the endorsement of Red Rolfe in the lower-right corner. Though the color is exceptional the piece does exhibit considerable war around the edges and severe creasing at the bottom-left corner and top-right as well. Surface abrasions and additional creasing are visible at closer inspection. The reverse is soiled with some paper peeling from the back of the piece. Despite all this an absolutely beautiful display bright and colorful and ready for framing.
