About the Item

O'Henry Tent and Awning sideshow banner with original shipping tag. Unusual subject matter and fantastic story from the Salem witch trails to Spider Girl. This banner appears to have been mostly stored and rarely if ever used. This banner came from the Bob McCord collection in Los Angeles. McCord was the owner of the infamous Sagebrush Cantina and amassed a collection of hundreds of some of the best examples of sideshow history.
