Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Ralph Kiner goes to bat for Sealtest ice cream in this life-size die-cut cardboard advertising display. Kiner is pictured in uniform striking a batting pose, while the text reads "Make a Hit! - Take Home Some Sealtest Ice Cream." Kiner's personal endorsement, "Get The Best - Get Sealtest," appears above his facsimile signature at the base. The display, which is 66.5" high and 24" wide, shows heavy wear, including creases, tears, a few nail holes, and light staining. The piece is supported on the reverse with cardboard and wooden slats. A wire attached to the reverse allows the piece to hang from a wall, but it does not stand freely on its own. Technically in Poor condition, but it presents at a higher level and is still perfect for display, as intended.
