Fair. There is a fair bit of corrosion to this one, heaviest to bottom right edge. Other spots of corrosion to the print at the front throughout, again the lower left over the tins is where this is the worst. A few little flakes reveal the shiny tin beneath. Rear has a paper backing which is a little deteriorated with some stains. Rear is a little bowed out, looks like it is meant to be with the thick cardboard providing support for the stand. There is also a hook where this could hang on a wall. An early piece of advertising, this is quite rare. Grade: N/A Estimate: $200 - 300
