Vintage original Mobiloil magazine advertisement from The Australian Women’s Weekly June 24, 1953. It is a wonderful piece to frame for the petroliana collector, or for a man cave wall or simply a stunning piece of history to hang in any home or office.

This listing includes the advertisement framed in a black or white frame. These frames are simple frames from a homewares store and offered simply as an additional option as sometimes finding the right frame can be a PITA! and you just want to get it up on the wall :) The frames don’t have glass but rather a very clear acrylic plastic - lighter and no concerns with breakage during shipping. Please be aware they are simple frames and I am not charging any markup on these.

The paper advertisement condition: It is in good vintage condition with minimal age-related yellowing mostly around the edges. The edges may show the smallest amount of wear and tear but there is room for the edges to be either trimmed or placed under a mat when framing. At some point in the last 70 years the magazine has been stored folded in half so there is some very faint fold marks and some puckering of the paper around the edge of where it was folded this will flatten out once framed. All in all it is in very good condition for a paper magazine ad that is 70 years old.

Your print will be shipped flat. Any additional pages combined with first order, will ship free of charge.

* post price includes the price of a quality rigid cardboard envelope.
* The listing does not include the frame - it is for the paper advertisement only.
