    found this at an estate sale today...looks to be from the 50's-60's...silk type material...real nice original condition...has a wood dowel with gold painted wood ends.

    can anyone shed some light on when this wall banner might have been made?...is it rare? $$$ :D

    Judging by the General Tires logo, I'm going to say early/mid-70s, stuff like that was popular in the bicentennial era.

    it was made somewhere between 1915 to 2012 give or take, it's worth one million dollars. Your welcome Larry.

    Is it screenprinted or digital printed,? Can you feel the print? Still on the other hand it could have been the old Sublimation style printing which would be 1965 or later.

    I'm not sure if I can actually feel the print...it's hard to say. I think it's screenprinted.

    Here are some photos of 1950s vs. 1970s at Jack's General Tire in Vernal Utah. They illustrate the change in the General Tire logo. These were images I collected while researching my General Tire truck from Salt Lake.
