Priceless Vintage WWII Poster "Let's Go Our Quota Is" (Currently Not Available)

Asking price: $350.00

TThis is a great Bond Poster for both it's age and condition. This poster was issued by the U.S. Government Printing Office: 1944-O-610179. This type of poster was usually hung in a factory to encourage buying bonds. The poster is written on and the goal was set at $60,000.00. There is writing on the poster tacking funds raised; yet one area stands out - they were 125% of goal on 12/07/1944! They exceeded their goal and had a total collected figure of $85,329.60 (which was a lot of money in those days)on 12/30/1944! This makes this poster all that more desireable as it truly shows it not only is a true part of history from the homefront. Americans everywhere contibuted, participated in fund raising, production, conservation, home front security and more to support the WWII essrt. It features the words at the top:
LET'S GO
OUR QUOTA IS
$60,000.
At the bottom right it reads:
6th War Loan
This caricature type piced depicts an image of American production with Rosie the Riveter at the top of the poster, with one of her male peers standing at the bottom. Posters of this circa were typically folded, thus it has the usual fold marks, showing some wear on the fold lines. There is also a tiny bit of tearing and wear on the margins of this piece in the center, otherwise this poster is near mint for a 62 year old piece. This poster measures approximately 20 inches x 28 inches. Truly the secondary market on this piece is priceless however my guess that it would run approximately $450.00.
This item represented is in very good condition, and is from a non-smoking environment. The color is vibrant and the poster is in almost perfect condition. This is a HTF piece with the feel of the pride American's at home took in their contribution to the war effort overseas! Ny son says that this is one to keep in our collection; I say if it doesn't sell by the holidays that we will. The markings on the piece show fund raising in action. Just a tremendouse find!
