This looks like as good a place as any to drop this... visiting my friends at the antique sign shop this morning an found this US Dept of Agriculture Smokey the bear poster from 1976....nice heavy card stock and in great condition. Good pairing with a couple of my Stetson "Smokey Bear" hats. Need to go find a frame for it

Dug around in the back room and found a nice frame from some of my Moms old artwork stash. all framed and safe now... Bicentenial Smokey!

Found another early ww2 Stetson Stratoliner ad Id never seen before. Trying to decide whether to trim the mat for the smaller frame of just use a bigger frame that already fits the mat... really nice condition

One last Stetson item from the mailman today... Its a modern Stetson ceramic mug, but it was cheap and should make for a good large Tennessee/ Kentucky coffee mug. Still has all the paper stickers on it so its unused...... I wont have to disinfect and scrub someones lipstick off lol. Confident when warmer weather ever gets here, that it will be good for beer too

Pretty cool old prints.
