This is a vintage original c.1927 safety poster issued by the National Safety Council.   The lower margin is printed “General Series No. 2031-B”.  

This poster features the image of three pirates opening a treasure chest with text that reads: 

ACCIDENTS ARE PIRATES THAT ROB YOU OF HAPPINESS AND PAY  

This vintage original poster isn’t dated but came with others dated to the mid to late 1920s and looks to be from that same c.1927 time period.  This poster is folded as issued and looks unused with no tape or pinholes and only light handling wear and modest toning from age.  Overall condition is very good.
