S&W Posters

Very old thread but just trying to make sure these are the 1952 ones ?
They are 18x 22 size

No they are not. Both are 1980's prints. The HOSTILES 1950's edition was a lot more vibrant and it doesn't say "A copy of a Dan Smith original"
The original 1902 "The Last Cartridge" has a dead baby bear at the feet of the man. It also doesn't say, "A copy of a Dan Smith Original".
 
I got the 686 poster recently at a gun show for $2.00. The guy had a stack of them.
 
I know someone that has The Hostiles print but it does not say Copy of a Dan Smith original. It says printed by Smith & Wesson on the bottom. I assume this is from the 1950s batch. What would be its value? I had one earlier with the wording written in Portuguese and I sold it on ebay for around $400. I put it on this forum somewhere. that was a couple of years ago.

They did one in the 1970's as well. The colors are a little duller than the 1950's edition. The logo one done in the 1930's reads "For over 75 years...."
The one that reads A copy of a Dan Smith original was done in the 1980's.

Don, what are the "Ten-Ring Tips" posters (like this one) going for by condition range ?
I have a few including a perfect one I purchased from you many years ago IIRC that one is in the original shipping tube, which it is still in.

Yes, I did sell you one. Must have been in the late 1970's. A 10 rings in average condition will bring $100.00 all the way up to mint will bring $750.00
 
Possible Rare Poster "The Hostiles"

My father worked for Smith and Wesson in the 70's and 80's. He always had this picture up, and I thought nothing of it until he recently passed away.

I took a closer look, did a little research. It has the stamp. It looks just like the pictures I saw that were legit.

I do not trust people and have only shared this poster with one person.

How do I know? I gave up my job to take care of both parents, and I don't have much money. I don't want to deal with fraudulent people.

Any advice would be much appreciated...

Any / all of the items I ever bought from you or Ernie were always in fantastic condition.

Another "thank you" (decades later) for that Ten Ring Tips (in the original shipping tube) I purchased from you so many years ago. I don't think it's seen daylight (or incandescent light) for more than a few hours in its entire life. :) Sal
