Quirky Qantas (Australian) 1950s travel posters!

Comments

  • I’m mostly retired from MP hobby but spotted these charmers on tonight’s HA auction!

    HA previously sold this:


  • John used to work or have a connection to Qantas.  He's had some amazing posters in this series.  Perhaps he'll post up a few more!

    I have collected quite a few Qantas posters over the years. The ones pictured in the earlier post are generally referred to as reissues/reprints. The posters were originally designed by Harry Rogers in the late 50s but the same designs were reprinted in the late 60s with a very slight variation from the originals. The original release Harry Rogers designs should show a Super Constellation logo where the later release show a707   ....

    When we auction U.S. airline travel posters, we see that there are usually at least three versions of each one. One from the 1950s, the 1960s, and the 1970s, and just as John said, the main difference is usually the type of airplane or jet pictured. We almost never get any Qantas ones!




    Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
    HAS lifetime guarantees on every item - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS unrestored and unenhanced images - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS 100% honest condition descriptions - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS auctions where the winner is the higher of two real bidders - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "buyers premiums" - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "reserves or starts over $1 - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS hidden bidder IDs - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS no customer service to speak of - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "nosebleed" shipping charges - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS inadequate packaging - NOT eMoviePoster.com

  • So Heritage sold these as 1950s originals but they're actually from the 1960s? Typical.
