Description:

This vintage 1950's advertisement perfectly combines two of this country's favorite pastimes, drinking beer with friends and firearms. This ad for Grain Belt beer shows three friends inside one of their gun rooms, with the wall behind them displaying quite the impressive collection of predominantly Winchester firearms, which includes a Henry lever action rifle, with the ever iconic Double "W" bullet board in the center. From the map spread out on the table, we can assume the trio is planning a hunting trip. At the center of the table is a wooden serving platter with two bottles of Grain Belt beer. The man in the center, likely the owner of the fine Winchester collection, stands with his hunting rifle in one hand and a pint in the other. The bottom left corner reads "Premium /Compliments of /Grain Belt". The work is mounted in a wooden frame that measures 35 3/8 x 40 inches.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, the print itself showing vibrant color and distinct imagery with only the slightest wear or fading, and the frame has only the slightest handling/storage evidence. This would be a great display piece for your gun room or office!
