SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1890 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, one of which, the #12 Rival, is missing and the #10 brass shell is probably a replacement. There are six orig glass top primer & cap boxes along with 10 bullets. In addition to the shot shells missing there is also a Winchester 45-90 cartridge, a 38 S&W blank, a 30 Long Rimfire and a conical BB cap cartridge missing. The rare 70-150 cartridge at the top center of the “W” is a reproduction. The 45 Sharps 3-1/4″ cartridge has an orig live cartridge case in place of the dummy cartridge. Reverse of the board still has its orig heavy paper covering and paper Winchester label. CONDITION: Very good to fine. The orig board is lightly to moderately soiled & faded but may clean much brighter. There are water streaks through the right side vignette with another water streak in the left vignette. Cartridges appear to be orig with light to moderate oxidation, never having been polished. Frame is fine and sound, probably cleaned a long time ago and retains orig finish. 4-42718 JR191 (6,000-10,000)
