in original frame and glass remaining in very good to near fine condition, framed 34 1/2" X 42 3/4". History of the Miami Powder Company: In 1843 brothers Alvin and Lorenzo Austin built a powder mill in Goes, Ohio. The mill was located near the city of Xenia. The Austin brothers and a third party known as Carlton built this mill. Not much is known of Carlton except that he sold off his shares of the company to J.W. King. The company was then named Austin and King Powder company. In 1855 the Austin brothers left the company. King and new shareholders took over, and the company was renamed The Miami Powder Company. Their offices were located in Xenia, Ohio along with a mill called Frontier Powder Mills. Some powder cans have been found that were simply labeled "Frontier Sporting Rifle Powder-Frontier Mills. There are actually Miami Powder Company cans and are usually found with stenciled labels. As the Civil War began, so did government powder contracts for the company. The production of rifle powder increased to 10,000 kegs a year. Business was very brisk. But, when the Civil War came to an end in 1865, so did the company's huge military contracts. However, it was able to stay alive with its production of powder for sporting and mining use. In 1872 Addison Faye and group of new investors gained control of the company. Forced out in 1877, King and his nephew left the business. One year later they formed the Kings Great Western Powder Company. This same company later became the Kings Powder Company. 1907-1925 the offices were in Chicago, Ill. This little known powder company now fallen into history but has left a name which collectors still keep very much alive. Whether it a can or in this case a poster, or any other piece that is connected to Miami Powder Company, one thing is certain, their items are very rare. Ref.
