Direct from the estate of an advertising company executive in Columbus, Ohio, these are selections of his hand drawn original artwork for advertisements and signs all throughout the midwest and beyond. All are hand drawn and hand colored on very thin artist tracing paper, and in some cases they have been mounted on cardboard. The paper itself is very delicate, and in most cases there are tears and age wear to the artist paper but which often does not extend to the drawing itself, and most are ready for a frame. The condition varies and is noted in parentheses following each description, but in all cases the quality of the artwork and the whimsical ways he deals with the business themes shows someone at the top of his profession. Most date to the middle of the 20th century. This set of 3 features Golden Star Dairy advertisements including "Want a glow on...go on Golden Star milk" with a whimsical man figure showing his glow shaded in red (good condition unmounted artist paper with one tear that extends just slightly into the pencil box outlining the ad and measuring approximately 21.0" x 8.0"), super "Want a pick-up? Drink Golden Star milk" ad with lady hitching a ride (good condition with a fold down the middle and a small open tear approximately 1.0" long, and the work measuring approximately 21.5" x 8.5"), and a very colorful "Golden Star Milk It's Fresher" ad (very good condition, unmounted artist paper hand drawn and colored measuring approximately 22.5" x 8.25" with a fold down the middle but definitely ready for a frame). One of the most interesting things about this trove of vintage advertising original artist drawings is the chance to see how the artist worked, drew, and changed his ideas and renderings as he developed the concept for the ad.
