SCARCE WINCHESTER SINGLE W CARTRIDGE BOARD.

SCARCE WINCHESTER SINGLE W CARTRIDGE BOARD. Fine scarce board with 142 cartridges placed on the board in the shape of a large “W”. Dimensions of the board are 42-1/2″ x 29-1/2″ image size in its orig oak frame with gold gesso lining which is 51″ x 37-1/2″. The board image is printed on wood grain cardboard with art vignettes, one by A.B. Frost in the left wing of the “W” which consists of a hunter and Indian guide in Hudson Bay Co. blanket coats. The right wing of the “W” depicts a Frederic Remington style vignette of a cowboy using an 1873 or 1876 rifle shooting, using his dead horse as a barricade. The bottom center depicts two hanging ducks. Top center of the board has the large red & gold “WINCHESTER” logo. The cartridges include 10 shot shells. There are six orig glass top primer & cap boxes along with 10 bullets. The rare 70-150 cartridge at the top center is original. Unfortunately the large #4 paper shot shell and the “Sectional” paper shot shell at the top left are broken, otherwise the cartridges are all intact and are orig cartridge board dummies. The entire board vignettes & cartridges have either been lacquered many years ago or the board hung in an environment with heavy smoke. Otherwise this is an extremely fine board. CONDITION: Very fine. There are a couple of minor nicks on the board with only one affecting the left A.B. Frost vignette. The others are minor and around the edges. The gold gesso lining has a couple of minor chips but is reasonably intact. The oak frame is solid and retains most of its orig varnish. The orig paper backing and Winchester label are yellowed but intact except for a couple of places where cartridges have been rewired. This is a fine board suitable for most any collector’s gun room. 4-42207 JR192 (15,000-25,000)
