We just auctioned off an interesting 1937 National Jamboree poster. Why we’re bringing attention to it is that here we have a legitimate, vintage piece of nostalgia that tells a story that got respected by the hobby based upon the price realized. By “vintage nostalgia”, I mean it was not a manufactured rarity like most modern Jamboree items. It was not made to be collected. It was probably used in council offices to promote the jamboree. The pictures show CSE James West, members of the National Executive Board, multi-racial groups of workers helping to build the site and more.

Its now 75 years old. That it has even survived is pretty amazing. It may be one of the only known examples left to survive.

From our description:
