AUCTION - Vulcan Gas - Lot of 2 Jim Franklin - 1969 Handbills - Near Mint Minus

Offered for auction is a lot consisting of two handbills by Texas artist Jim Franklin. The first piece is a concert handbill from the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, Texas. The show dates were June 20–21, 1969. Headliners for both dates were Shiva's Head Band. The show info creates the border over a deep magenta background. The body of the piece features two "Simple Things to Try at Home" (Sort of an audio science project). The second piece in the lot is what is known as the "Black and White version". Simply put, it is the Vulcan Gas handbill minus the magenta background and the show information. A pretty scarce piece in each case. All the more so to have the two together. Each handbill measures 7 7/8" X 11", approximately. The condition of the full color version is Near Mint Minus, with a tiny bit of edge wear, light handling, and some corner toning at the bottom right, mostly on the reverse. The black and white piece is in Near Mint Minus condition as well, with a couple of light corner bends, handling, a tiny edge chip at the upper right, and some edgewear. Both look Near Mint.
