This vintage FD-VI, Original Big Brother handbill is rare and sought after in ANY condition. It is an early Wes Wilson design and this is only the third example we have ever auctioned!



There were no posters produced for this event. Only handbills, and a relatively small amount at that. These were printed on a larger single sheet of paper side by side with FD-V, and then cut in half for distribution. This print run was not precise, likely due to the plate not being cleaned often enough between pressings. Nevertheless, this original handbill is EXTREMELY RARE and does not surface for collectors very often.



This is the type of original handbill that is certain to grow in value & scarcity over the next few years. Don't let this opportunity pass you by!
