This vintage original WWII era poster was issued by the Gulf Oil Company to help advertise the company’s Gulflex branded motor oil lubricants. This poster features an image of a young man in uniform regaling his parents with war stories bracketed by text that reads Goes into Every detail – Gulflex Lubrication for your car. The lower margin is printed “SP2224 – To Be Posted January 1st to 15th – ALL DIVISIONS”.
This poster isn’t dated but appears to be late WWII era and was probably issued around 1945 or shortly thereafter. This poster is free of tape or pinholes and shows light handling wear and modest toning from age. This poster has a short tear of about an inch and a half at the bottom edge and another short tear of less than a half inch on the lower right edge, both without loss of paper. The colors are strong and overall condition is very good for this vintage original.
