This is a large vintage original 1963 Atlantic Petroleum Company gas station paper sign or advertising poster touting the company’s “Red Ball” service.   This poster measures about 44” x 28” and has text that reads:    WE GIVE RED BALL GUARANTEED SERVICE  The Atlantic Petroleum Company offer “Red Ball Service” which included having the Atlantic gas station attendant clean your windshield and check your oil with a fill-up of gas.   The lower margin of the poster is printed “Suggested Posting Date, Oct. 1, 1963” so thus the date.    This is an unrestored vintage original poster with moderate handling wear and a few small chips and nicks on the edges.  The poster has pinhole nicks off the corners and small quarter inch hole in the margin on the left edge near the upper corner.   The edges are a bit bumped in places and the poster has a small printer’s proof label on the lower right corner.   This vintage original poster will still look pretty good as is or could be linen backed if you wanted to get it looking as good as possible.    Please see the photos and email any questions.  Thanks for looking.   Payment Terms Winning bidders will receive an email directly from eBay at the end of the auction or after purchasing a fixed price item.
