Framed 1950s Grain Belt Beer/Winchester Advertisement

This vintage 1950's advertisement perfectly combines two of this country's favorite pastimes, drinking beer with friends and firearms. This ad for Grain Belt beer shows three friends inside one of their gun rooms on the wall behind them is quite the impressive collection of predominantly Winchester firearms (which includes a Henry lever action rifle!) with the ever iconic Double "W" bullet board in the center. From the map spread out on the table, we can assume the trio is planning a hunting trip. At the center of the table is a wooden serving platter with two bottles of Grain Belt beer. The man in the center, likely the collector of the fine Winchester collection, stands with his hunting rifle in one hand and a pint in the other. The bottom left corner reads "Premium /Compliments of /Grain Belt". The work is mounted in a wooden frame that measures 36x30 1/2 inches.

ConditionVery fine with some minor storage and handling marks, some rippling of the advertisement, and vibrant coloration. This advertisement would be perfectly at home behind any bar or in any gun room!
