Up for auction is an original 1939 Harley-Davidson dealer advertising ink blotter featuring colorful period artwork promoting the new Harley-Davidson motorcycles for the 1939 model year.


The front highlights several of Harley-Davidson’s new features for 1939, including the streamlined instrument panel, improved motor performance, new ride control on the 45 Twin, steel-strutted pistons on the 74 and 80 Twins, stainless steel fender strips, and new color options. The bold graphics and Art Deco-inspired typography make this an outstanding display piece for Harley-Davidson enthusiasts and vintage advertising collectors.


The reverse is blank, as expected for an original ink blotter. It remains unused and displays very well with vibrant color, crisp printing, and only light wear from age and storage. Please review all photos carefully for the best representation of condition.


A great addition for collectors of:


* Harley-Davidson motorcycles

* Prewar motorcycle memorabilia

* Vintage dealer advertising

* Ink blotters

* Gas & oil advertising

* Motorcycle literature

* 1930s Americana


Found in recent barns, storage units, estates, and anywhere rusty gold hides. Please see all of the photos for condition and measurements. I will combine shipping on multiple orders, so be sure to check out my other items. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you.
