    Description

    Lot of 6 Vintage Alka -Seltzer Advertising Cardboard Fans, ranging in condition from good to very good- see below for more detail.  Also see photos as they are part of the description (front and back of each is shown). Each measures approximately 9 1/2" x 8 3/8" (with stick, it measures 13"). Artist: G.W. French - circa 1930's/1940's.  I haven't tried to clean them. They have been stored in my home (probably purchased in the 1970's or 80's). The colors are still strong/vibrant.  I had a vintage cardboard fan collection and these were 6 of my fans. Smoke free home.
