Re: info wanted " game name game" poster 1923
The 1923 Game Loads poster is very common because it was a general distribution item to customers to promote the new game loads shot shells as opposed to advertising meant for dealer use. They could be picked up at a dealer or hardware store or for ten cents in stamps a person could write to Remington and get a copy in the mail.They tended to get framed so many exist today. The artist was Lynn Bogue Hunt and collectible for that name alone. Value for this poster has gone up recently but condition drives the value. This print faded very easily so to find a bright copy is hard to find. A good bright copy will go for $175-200. A faded copy in good shape $75-100. A torn or ripped copy $50 or less.
Hope this helps.

I would like to add that this poster was reproduced on a 1988 calendar. The dates of 1904
were the same as 1988. the repro. was 14" X 27". and If my information is correct the original was 17" X 25".
