Desirable Winchester "Double W" Ammunition Display Board in Frame

The board is mounted in 3 inch flat wood frame, 57 inch wide by 39 1/2 inch tall, with a gold painted border around the 48 3/4 inch x 31 1/4 inch green board. Dark green background with gold bordered, red letters reading "WINCHESTER/REPEATING ARMS CO." at the top, "NEW HAVEN, CONN., U.S.A." at the bottom with gold lettered "NEW YORK" and "SAN FRANCISCO" underneath at each end. The upper center vignette has two hunters in a wooded scene inspecting a dead bear with their Winchester rifles leaning against a log next to them, flanked by a white banner with red letters reading "REPEATING RIFLES" on the left and "AMMUNITION" on the right. The center of the board between the "W"s is a listing of the products on display. There is a flying mallard on the left and a moose head on the right. The display consists of almost 200 various cartridges and shotgun shells and nine tins of percussion caps, each described below in white letters. The back has a sticker which reads "PRESENTED WITH COMPLIMENTS/of the/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS Co/ PLEASE HANG IN A PROMINENT PLACE" and is stenciled "No 1810".

Very fine. All of the items meant for display are present and secure to the board. The brass has an attractive aged patina. The colors are still vivid and there is some very minor flaking of the background paper. Several cartridges are absent of the lead bullet. The gold painted border is 70% intact. The frame is very fine with four iron pointed plugs installed, some flaking of the varnish and a few minor scratches and scuffs.
