Oil Destroys Rubber Keep Cords Clean
Perhaps the most obscure rubber rationing poster we have ever found from WWII. Printed by the Farrel Birmingham Co of Connecticut and Buffalo NY. The company was founded in 1848 and produced bayonets and cannon barrels for the Civil War. During the 1920s, Farrel-Birmingham began creating gears for US Navy propulsion systems in Buffalo, New York.
In 1941, the Navy worked with Farrel-Birmingham and General Motors to begin manufacturing a rapid reversal gear systems so that vessels could reverse engines without slowing down. In 1942, Farrel-Birmingham received the E award from the Navy for their efforts. We have never seen another example of this rare poster.
Measures 11x17”
Condition-excellent, just some staple holes from when it was hung during the war.
