Our poster paper is heavy duty 60# stock, special ordered by the ream, and is the closest we have found to actual parchment paper that would have been used in the 19th century.
It’s heavy weight and won’t get torn or blown off the hitching post! We don’t stain it (reducing it’s life) all our aging is done with graphics – making them crisp and clear.
Our original old west posters are just the thing for decorating your wild west saloon, office, SASS Clubhouse, Firearms Shop, Shooting Range, or any other western themed business.
Jesse James Poster The Middle Border Marauder. Our posters can be seen in a saloon in Hong Kong, some Secret Service offices in Chicago, Movie sets, and lots of shops and watering holes in the west of North America.
Called Dingus by his pals, Jesse James was a cold blooded killer who was left over from the viciousness of the Civil War. Lifelong he was hunted like a wild animal, and justified his crimes by “they drove us to it. . . .”
These are exact replicas of actual Wanted Posters, Railway Circulars, Pinkerton Circulars, Exhibit Notices, and Vigilante Notices from about 1849 to 1900. Once a Wanted Poster Reward got big enough it usually resulted in the outlaws death or capture. Jesse James is a fine example of this.
The Killing {Assassination?} of Jesse James
The James-Younger Gang seldom strayed far from Missouri – except to do their robberies; confident their friends and family would hide them out. Once the reward got to 25,000 for Jesse it was just a matter of time before the dirty little coward (Bob Ford), would kill Mister Howard (Jesse James), as he stood on a chair to straighten a picture, in his own home.
As word spread of Jesse’s death – Bob and his brother Charlie raced to the telegraph office and cabled Governor Crittenden: “I have killed Jesse James. St. Joseph. Bob Ford”. Jesse’s two murdering cousins rushed back to the James House, now swamped with curious onlookers. Spotting the local authorities, the brothers rushed up and staked their claim to the infamous deed.
“I’m Bob Ford,” gasped Bob, ” I shot him”.
“I’m Charlie Ford,” gushed his brother, “I saw him”.
Our poster’s debuted on the web way back in 2002 and were some of the first old west posters available. You can find our posters all over the world, from restaurants to club houses to movie sets to barns and tack rooms.
Our paper is heavy 65 lb card stock, special ordered by the ream, and won’t get torn or blown off the hitching post! We don’t stain it to give it that aged look all our aging is done with graphics – making them crisp and clear.
