Vintage Nash Willys-Knight Whippet International Advertising Piece Stow Brothers

Description

Vintage original advertising piece, probably from the 1930's, for Nash, Willys-Knight, Whippet and International.  The sign was advertising for the Stow Brothers in Rising Sun, Indiana.
This cardboard sign, prominently featuring an elk, has a pouch at the bottom that held free calendars given away by the dealership.  It was made by the Vevay Calendar Works in Vevay, Indiana.  The sign measures ~23.5" tall x 9.5" wide.
This is a very rare piece, as it came with many calendars, but only one calendar holder!
The sign does show wear typical of age.  A few of the antlers have broken tips.  Colors have faded and the sign originally had a glittery snow on it.  You can still see the white where it was at, but the sparkle is gone.
It is a miracle that this cardboard piece has survived in any condition, and it may be the only one of its kind left!  It is a great piece of history for an automobile enthusiast, or someone who collects historical pieces from Rising Sun, Indiana.
