I came across
the image of this banner, I would like to know more
information about?
Here's a little
background on this banner.
This very unique and rare banner was recently discovered
hidden inside a trunk in a now closed wax museum. In the
1930's through 1945 the original owner of the museum
traveled the country acquiring unique items that he one day
planned on using in his wax museum he intended to open in
the early 1950's. Hundreds or rare and unique pieces were
acquired during the planning stages of his dream museum, all
being placed inside a rented warehouse until he could open
his museum. Once the museum was opened in the early 1950s
all of his items were moved to his new building and the
majority of which were used in the various displays. Having
been inside the now closed museum, I know there was no were
remotely even possible that this banner could have been
displayed or even used. So this banner remained folded
inside a large trunk under some older quilts for over half a
century.
Thanks for any
information you may be able to supply.

William Thanks
for your question, The banner looks as if it was air
brushed which would make it newer than the information that
your provide.
I'm not sure who
the banner artist is, and have no further information on the
museum that was mentioned.
I hope you find
this info helpful?
