    I found this at a local thrift store - it is beautiful, in excellent condition & framed/matted very well - what ever it is it's worth more than I paid for it.
    What is it? At first I thought it was a 1/2 sheet movie poster or maybe a lobby card, but there is a line down the middle that makes me think it may have been a 2 page ad in a magazine?
    Thanks, I appreciate any help.

    With that line down the middle I have to believe it came out of a magazine. What's the size? Could be from a Look or Post if it's large.

    What's visible is 20" x 13" - but looking closer I THINK the line may be in, not a separation; which is even weider.

    B8EDFD40-AD95-4D33-BB3D-4400361BE5A5.jpeg This says ad from Life magazine. I don’t know what size.

    Description: 1952 LIFE MAGAZINE vintage print magazine cover. Size: The dimensions of the magazine cover page are approximately 10.5 inches x 14 inches (26.75 cm x 35.5 cm). This is for reference of the size only.
    So that’s front cover only. So roughly 21 x 14, and would have blank margins.

    I can not tell if there are staple holes, or copies of staple holes. I don’t see any. Maybe you should inspect the back of frame for clues.

    Here's a closed eBay auction for the same ad (I think... pics not showing up for me, but it started off alright in a search). Description says 2 separate sheets.

    One question is: what's on the other side? If it's out of a magazine, there will be print, probably even ads for other products.

    Sometimes you could mail in for a poster version of such an ad.

    Sometimes things of this type get reproduced.
