ITEM DESCRIPTION:

This wonderful paper advertising sign would have been displayed in the front window of a bicycle shop or toy store to entice parents to get bikes for their children for Christmas. Decorated with an image of jolly Santa Claus riding a bicycle in the center and images of happy children around the edges, it is inscribed Top Choice for Christmas Columbia Bikes Since 1877 ... America's First Bicycle. On the right side, separated by a perforated line so that it could be removed, is an inset inscribed Lay - a - way Now ... For Christmas Giving. The sign measures 15 inches tall by 34 inches wide and is in excellent condition with a fold seam down the center and some light creasing in the corners. It has been framed for display and protection. 17045-71WPP
