Please do the right thing and contact me in advance if you wish to discuss the use or reuse of my images and provide a link to my originals. I would also ask that I be given a "first look" at any 7Up UnCola billboards or posters before you market them to the general public in return for my extensive investment in time, money and research, including interviewing some of the surviving artists. Thanks, and enjoy. - - -

 

Search "7Up UnCola Billboards" on eBay or Flickr.com if you'd like to learn more about this stunning body of work or acquire originals that might be duplicates to me. I keep the best and sell the rest.

- - - FOR SALE - - -

Check eBay for this super rare poster. It was not sold to the general public like many of the other 7Up UnCola posters via their yearly “billboard & poster” offers. This was meant to be displayed on the outside of delivery trucks so finding one is much harder than usual.

My excess inventory is available on a rotating basis via my shop on eBay, or contact me directly via Flickrmail (preferred). You will also see a variety of other even rarer retro 7Up UnCola posters listed for sale. If my collection contains more than 1 copy, the duplicates may be offered for others to enjoy.

Size: 59 5/8” (151.45 cm) x 35 ¼” (89.54 cm), Subway Size "B” vintage 7Up UnCola poster

Name: "Butterfly & Bottle" by Pat Dypold. Her signature is under the bottom left wing.

Condition: Good. Has a few water stains, some surface scuffing, short rips, wrinkles, black marks on the back side of the left edge and creases in the thick paper. Professional poster restorers could clean and stretch this to restore it to its former glory.

These color renditions are very close to the actual poster.

The billboard version of this image was posted along highways just prior to Woodstock (August 15-18) in 1969.

This is one of the very best billboards ever produced IMO. It conveys the message at 50 mph without a single word.
