Vintage Chesterfield Cigarettes Bob Hope Poster

Found this rare beauty hidden in the back of a large Antique Mall in Kansas. The price made me weary, but the condition of the sign absolutely sold me. It had been wrapped in plastic to preserve it and backed with cardboard to make it more sturdy at some point. It looks as if the original owners realized the value a sign like this would have one day, and took measures to protect it as soon as they got it. The shape of the poster is odd, as it is very large with irregular proportions. It is a bit longer than a normal sized poster print, but the width is a few inches shorter than a regular print.
