This set of two posters were created in 1957, the first year The Lone Ranger was televised in color. They were created by General Mills, the main sponsor of both the television and radio show, as a box-top giveaway for children. If you collected enough GM cereal box-tops and mailed them in, you'd receive these life size posters in return! Given their scale and use for children, it has become extremely difficult to find a pair in excellent condition such as these. Please note that each poster measures 25" by 74 - 1/2" and that they are sold only as a set. These are each original vintage posters; not reproductions. Each poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition.
Condition: (9.0).
Item Dimensions: Each: 77 - 1/2" x 28 - 1/2".
