Vintage Advertising Box Jantzen Bathing Suit 1920's

Antiques : Advertising : Swimming

 

Large EMPTY box with most excellent color graphics of a family sporting their Jantzen swimwear. The box is 14 inches long, by 11 inches wide, and 2&1/2 tall. On the side is printed, "The suit that changed bathing to swimming", and "Jantzen Portland, Oregon". There is faded printing in a yellow square box on the end, that I can't read. Written in pencil in the box is "2/36-38". I would guess this to mean that 2 suits were in the box at one time. It's hard to believe that this great box has survived all these years, and is in such great shape. The colors are vibrant. There are no tears, stains or odors. There is minor shelf wear on the corners that show as white, and a slight indentation on the top from being stacked. This is a fabulous piece for decorating, or adding to your collection of antique advertising or bathing beauty items.
