Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:

Tourists at Fort McHenry National Monument, Md., see a replica of the flag which inspired our national anthem. It has 15 stars and stripes.

 

Fort McHenry-where 1100 men saved a city . . . and wrote a song

 

Over most places, the flag flies from sunrise to

sunset, but at Fort McHenry in Baltimore it flies

day and night. There's a reason for it.

 

Here, in 1814, 1100 gallant defenders were bombarded

for 25 hours by the British fleet. At dawn

the flag still flew. . . the attack was repulsed and the

city was saved. It was then that Francis Scott Key,

inspired by the American colors still flying, wrote

"The Star-Spangled Banner."

 

Today, Fort McHenry, under the supervision of the

National Park Service, offers visitors a fine example

of l8th century military architecture. In its

museums are interesting relics of the War of 1812,

the Bowie Collection of Firearms and a collection

of original flags. Within easy driving distance are

many other sights worth seeing including Annapolis,

Civil War battlefields, famous universities, museums

and the amazing Sherwood Gardens.

 

But the greatest sight is still the banner waving over

the ramparts 24 hours a day-a tribute to the men

who stayed on their feet and slugged it out in defense

of liberty, and to the song they helped to write.

 

Americans have stood up and fought for freedom

ever since. Maybe that's why we all get to our feet

whenever "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played.

A great Vintage Ad!

You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!

We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).

Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:

- New frame
- New mat
