Description: Offered here is an extremely rare mailing envelope for a 5-piece 1920's Winchester Advertising Display Sign for Guns & Ammunition. The displays are extremely rare but I have never seen a shipping envelope for these items so this item is ultra-rare. Picnic Equipment. The shipping envelope measures about 40x18''and shows wear and tear, including foxing. PLEASE NOTE: There are no display signs inside the envelope. This listing only includes the mailing package, not the actual signs that were displayed in store windows during the Roaring Twenties. Here is more information about the unique Winchester display signs: A century ago one of the biggest names in sporting goods and other merchandise wasn’t Nike or Under Armour, or Amazon, but – Winchester. Yes, the rifle guys. Oliver Fisher Winchester was born in Boston in 1810, and his initial foray into business was as a maker of men’s shirts. Seeing the economic potential of the fast-growing firearms industry, Winchester began to assemble investors and secure venture capital, and in 1857 bought a controlling interest in the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company from two inventive gentlemen named Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson. Winchester continued to refine firearm designs with inventors Benjamin Tyler Henry and Nelson King, and on May 22, 1866, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company was born. Because of the reputation of the Winchester brand, it’s association with hunting, and its impressive distribution channels across the United States, the company “extended” their brand into “sporting goods” like baseball gloves and uniforms, boxing gloves and equipment, and in the early 20th Century, the growing sport of “basket ball.” In fact, by 1919, Winchester-branded consumer products including pocketknives, hand tools, flashlights, home appliances, roller skates and fishing reels are sold at Winchester stores and independent retailers.
