eBay PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW ALL THE PICTURES!! - This rare and complete set of 20 COCA COLA 1943 promotional WWII wall-hangings features a war plane of some type on each of the 20 different examples - colors are true and bright, condition is amazingly strong and the backs indicate these were never hung or mounted. Probably these were issued to bars, retail outyets and maybe even for sale to the public - they make a beautiful and extensive set, now 78 years old and remarkably crisp. I have examined each one and aside from a few softened corners, I see nothing of concern, no tears, no loss, no stains, no markings – no problems. Each is 13” x 15” with a self-frame, date 1943 etc lower right and a bright red Coca Cola advert lower left. Each is signed by the artist commissioned to execute these, Willliam J Heathslip. The planes chosen to be fully illustrated in this set are as follows: Grumman “WILDCAT” F4F Fighter U S NAVY - North American “INVADER” A36 Attack Bomber U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Republic P-47 Pursuit U S ARMY AIR FORCE - North American “MITCHELL” B-25 Medium Bomber U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Martin “MARAUDER” B-26 Medium Bomber U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Vought-Sikorsky YR-4 U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Martin “MARINER” PBM Patrol Bomber U S NAVY - Lockheed C-69 Transport U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Curtis “HELLDIVER” SB2C Dive Bomber U S NAVY - Curtis “WARHAWK” P-40 Pursuit U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Bell “AIRACOBRA” P-39 Pursuit U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Grumman “AVENGER” TBF Torpedo Bomber U S NAVY - Grumman “HELLCAT” F6F Fighter U S NAVY - Consolidated “CATALINA” PBY Patrol Bomber U S NAVY - Boeing “FORTRESS” B-17 Heavy Bomber U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Vought-Sikorsky OS2U Observation Scout U S NAVY - Lockheed “LIGHTNING” P-38 Pursuit U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Douglas “HAVOC” P-70 Night Fighter U S ARMY AIR FORCE - Vought-Sikorsky “CORSAIR” F4U Fighter - and lastly Consolidated “LIBERATOR” B-24 Heavy Bomber U S ARMY AIR FORCE.” - Acquired from a private Pennsylvania estate – buyer pays 25.00 safe bubble shipping, Insurance and tracking in USA More than just a pretty picture.
