Frequently Asked Questions

Are these posters genuine?

Our posters are all guaranteed originals, we never sell reproductions. They are 60-120 years old, some are even older.

Why are these posters expensive?

Unlike modern and reproduction posters, very few genuine vintage advertising posters have survived for more than sixty years. Posters are priced according to rarity, condition, and aesthetic appeal.

How many copies do you have?

We typically only have one copy of each poster or sign, as they are rare. However, we do have multiple copies of many of our labels.

What condition are these posters?

Most of our posters are in good condition, but do ask us and we can explain if there is any damage or restoration.

Are these posters linen-backed?

Almost all of our large posters are “linen-backed” using archival and acid-free materials and methods. We use Japanese tissue and fine linen or cotton canvas. This helps preserve and protect posters, making them easier to handle, store and ship. Generally, small posters can be framed as they are.

In some cases, posters are described as not being linen-backed.

Can you deliver / ship to my address?

We use UPS or an equivalent courier service to deliver posters and large items to most international locations. We use Royal Mail to deliver labels internationally and for all UK deliveries. A signature will be required on delivery.

When will I receive my order?

We usually dispatch orders within two working days of payment receipt into our account.

Royal Mail usually delivers the following working day. Courier deliveries can take 2 – 5 working days depending on your location. Please let us know if you would like a tracking number.

How much does shipping cost?

Labels are sent in a stiff hard-backed envelope. Posters are sent in a protective poster tube. Shipping costs £10 for deliveries within UK.

Shipping internationally costs £20. Shipping costs will be added to your order.

Will the shipment be insured?

Yes, when we deliver an order to you it is insured.
