1930142875Amsterdam: NP 1930's. Large original counter display. 29.5 X 41 cm. Probably unused display with the support on the rear unopened. Multi colored image. Minor old crease and a bit of surface abrasion otherwise in nice condition. This is a Dutch counter display for Alaska Brand slippers. There is no indicated manufacturer except a very small RT on the bottom left hand corner. The image shows a hunter/trapper with his rifle over his shoulder fur hat on his head and wearing a buckskin jacket. He is holding a pair of woolen slippers and has a big smile on. It appears the display was never used and shows very little wear. I am not sure if the brand was Alaska or the model of slippers. Fun Alaskan kitsch! 1930 NP unknown
