Vintage Store Display

VTG KUPPENENHEIMER 1940s COUNTER STANDING STORE ADVERTISING DISPLAY WOOD/ACRYLIC. Art is by well known artist for the period (used by the’Father of Advertising,’ the late David Ogilvy and others) Robert Goodman who took over for renowned advertising artist Joseph Christian Leyendecker. The display stand is crafted remarkably well for a store counter advertising piece. The front exotic wood (not sure what type of wood it is) veneer is coated in clear acrylic over the artwork, and sandwiched behind by a thin metal plate, backed by 2 more thicker veneers, and finally another metal plate behind the final back veneer. The cardboard foldout leg is held in place by a ribbon and in good, solid vintage condition. The sign itself shows very light minor marks from age and a slightly separated corner (see photos), otherwise excellent vintage condition (see photos). The standing sign measures 14 3/4″ x 17 1/2″. We believe this advertising counter stand is from the 1940s but unfortunately cannot offer any provenance. Or simply Kuppenheimer, was a men’s clothing manufacturing and retail operation based in Chicago, Illinois and later Atlanta Georgia.
