1899 Avalon Catalina Island Print Ad - Metropole Hotel & Holly Hill House Pix!

Description

1899
Santa Catalina
Island Print Ad -
Avalon Bay, Metropole Hotel, Holly Hill House & Tuna Pix
!
This
Banning Company
advertisement is the ORIGINAL - not a copy - and comes to you straight out of the actual publication where it appeared back in 1899. The ad is for
Catalina Island
and ­features a great picture of Avalon Bay, Sugarloaf Point, the Metropole Hotel, Holly Hill House, the dance pavilion, and more, with a huge tuna
to promote the Rod and Reel Tournament of the Tuna Club.
It would make an interesting (and fun!) conversation piece framed and displayed in your home or office. You could add it to your current collection, put it on display next to other related items, or use it as a reference source for historical research, restoration work, etc. (and would make a PERFECT GIFT for you-know-who!).
Measuring approximately 5 x 8 inches in size, the ad is not clipped nor cut – you get the whole 6 x 9-inch page. It looks much better than the pictures, which were scanned from the actual, original
ad
you’ll receive (without the AdZooks watermark, of course). The paper is clean, and free of rips, tears, creases, stains, and mildew
(Note- a small part of the upper left corner is missing- see scan for more info).
It will be carefully packed up using a plastic sleeve with a cardboard backer and shipped
flat
(not rolled!) to ensure that this treasure arrives at its new home in excellent condition.
FREE SHIPPING
anywhere in the United States using USPS First Class Mail (International shipping cost varies by buyer location).
