Vintage Poster Post World War 2 Marshall Plan ERP Cold War Political Propaganda - Alfred Lutz - Chef - European Flags by HappyFortuneVintage

525.00 USD

Donned in the flags of European countries, this Cold War era chef is mixing together a politically unified Europe with a strong flavor of economic prowess. A bit more whimsical than most entries in the European Recovery Program (ERP) Marshall Plan's Intra-European Cooperation for a Better Standard of Living 1950 poster contest, this prize-winning original lithograph designed by German artist Alfred Lutz would make an amazing addition to any vintage poster collection.

The ERP or Marshall Plan (1948 - 1951), conceived by George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff during WW II & Truman's Secretary of State, sought to politically stabilize & rebuild the economies of war-torn European countries while hindering the spread of Communism.

A panel of 12 graphic artists, one from each of the countries benefiting from the Marshall Plan, selected 25 winning posters from over 10,000 entries. The posters are graphically stunning pieces of political propaganda and historically interesting bits of ephemera from the early Cold War era.

The poster is an original poster, not a reproduction. The poster is in excellent vintage condition with just some minor wear at around the edges.


Artist: Alfred Lutz
Lithorgraph, 1950
21 x 29 inches (53 x 73 cm)
Text in German: Inter-European Co-operation for Better Living Conditions
Printed in the Netherlands by Kuhn & Zoon, Rotterdam

Victraulic commemorative statue can be used as a bookend or a paperweight. It's heavy, it's cool, it's industrial strength. Cast from iron through the in mold process, this "V" shaped sculpture is marked "Victraulic First Iron-Forks" and "June 1, 1977" on the front.

Victraulic traces its history back to War War I and the development of the "Victory Joint" by Lieutenant Ernest Tribe of the Royal Engineers. Tribe pioneered an industrial process for joining pipes and cylinders together advancing the development of the flamethrower weapon used in the trenches of War War I. This Victaulic "V" commemorates the first iron poured at the Forks foundry in Easton, Pennsylvania, on June 1, 1977.

The bookend/paperweight has a very industrial look and a nice patina of age.

The piece is approximately 5 3/4" wide x 5 1/8" tall x 2" deep.

This curious antique dental powder comes in its original unopened package. Labeled " Powder for Caulk's Copper Cement Red," this rare vintage dentist supply cost a $1 back in 1915.

Serve your Oreos or Chips Ahoy! on this awesome retro gray smoked glass plate. Emblazoned with a gold Nabisco logo, this thick glass dish is the perfect small serving plater for a tea-time snack.

Nabisco, formally National Biscuit Company, has one of the most recognizable logos. Its first incarnation dates back to 1898. In the 1950s, the logo got a cleaner, more modern look in keeping with the atomic age. To me, it sort of looks like a mid-century television antenna.

This listing is for one plate. Two plates are available.

Plates are in good vintage with a few minor scratches on the back behind the logo.
