Remington Arms advertising sign or poster, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The artwork is a well-known illustration used in print advertisements and store displays to promote Remington Express and Shur Shot shotgun ammunition.
The ad features an illustration of a hunter with his black Labrador retriever in a duck blind by the water's edge, preparing to shoot at flying birds. The text highlights "More knock-down POWER" and prominently displays boxes and individual shells of Remington's popular ammunition lines.
Key Details
Artwork: The original painting for a similar Remington advertisement, featuring a father and son hunting pheasants, was created by artist Robert Kuhn in 1957. It's highly probable the artwork in your image is also by Kuhn or another prominent sporting artist of the era commissioned by Remington.
Ammunition: The advertisement promotes the Remington Express (extra long range) and Shur Shot (shotgun shells) lines, noting features like the "New Remington Crimp" and "Kleanbore" priming.
Collectibility: Original posters and period displays are highly sought after by collectors. Reproductions on materials like tin have also been made.
Branding: The advertisement includes the "QU PONT" logo, as Remington Arms was owned by DuPont for a significant period. |
