PLEASE HELPVintage Poste poster has number 80099 in lower left corner. Mural is of comical cook figures. Two have a "C" on the cook hats. I do not know what company or entity is represented in the mural, perhaps a baking company. The mural is 2'1" x 5'7". The first of the five tall round comic figures is a baker with "C on his hat, next is girl with basket of apples, holding an apple, third is dressed as an eskimo, forth is identical to the second apple basket holder and the fifth is the baker with "C" on the hat, same as first. All figures are round and big like the older Betty Boop type. Would really appreciate any help identifying the poster. I suspect it is anywhere from 1930's to 1960's. Poster has been kept rolled in a trunk for 30 or so years and is in excellent condition. Submit your estimate of worth |

Hi Sherron,
You have a poster of the Campbell Kids. The first Campbell kids advertisement was in 1904 for the Campbell Soup Company. The illustrator was Grace Drayton, a popular illustrator in her day. She originally drew Campbell Kids as average boys and girls, but she later dressed them for special activities like cooking or working as police officers. The Campbell kids were used in ads until about 1951. So you were pretty close on the time frame, your poster is from sometime between 1904 and 1951. As far as value, it's hard to say. Luckily, advertising collectibles are pretty popular right now. I would say your poster is worth around $25-50 dollars. |
