Rare "Tuttle's Family Elixir" advertising sign from the first decade of the 20th century features three sports illustrations, including a very early hockey scene. The Boston-based Tuttle's Elixir Co. boasts in this magnificent vintage 28" x 22" lithograph on thin cardboard that its product is "a boon to athletes" that "keeps the muscles pliable and reliable", with the hockey scene captioned "for hard knocks", along with a "for bruises" football illustration and a gymnasium "for strains" scene. Aside from some cracks in the upper left portion, this 100-year-old-plus original advertising poster is intact within its 23 1/2" x 18 1/2" borders. The outer margins have a half dozen cracks and some loss on the edges at the corners to note. Overall, it remains in great condition considering its vintage.
