    Saw this at an antique store and thought I'd share. I didn't get a price or year, but I thought you all might appreciate it

    Cool. Kinda reminds me of the old airline ads like Pan-Am where the country they were advertising flights to would be in the background.

    Very nice poster, and definitely much larger than most (featuring watches).

    Could be a master. Movie posters were first done as a large oil painting. I have seen an antiques show where a guy bought an old suitcase and found the master for the original Boris Karloff Frankenstein film poster folded neatly inside.
    Often the poster used only some elements of the master, with images rearranged for best effect.
