Antique Keen Kutter O. S. Young Hardware Cardboard Advertising Eldorado Illinois

Description

Purchased this for the frame, but noticed the cardboard backing was from O. S. Young General Hardware in Eldorado, Illinois with Keen Kutter advertising. The cardboard looks very old and is brittle. It measures 20” tall and 16” wide. The words and graphics are centered in the cardboard so it was intended to be on the back of the picture that way. I tried to find some info on the internet but all I could find was what looked like a really old article saying it was the oldest hardware store in Eldorado. A picture of the article is in the photos. Includes the photo of the nice looking young gentleman but no frame. Please see photos and ask if have questions.
