Up for sale is one 1942 Japanese Exclusion Zone No. 41 (San Francisco) poster. This poster is on a heavy card stock style material. The poster has some yellowing but not to bad. The history of this specific poster, This poster along with others were brought to the the Urban Ore recycling center in Berkeley California to be recycled at some time in the 1980s. The person who was recycling them stated that he found them cleaning out an office in the San Francisco Presidio. When my father passed away I found the posters in the back room of his shop. I always recall that he had them hanging on the wall and would sell them one at a time over the yeas. This story was told to me verbally by my fathers friend who was the one that worked at the recycling center. If you have any questions please ask. I will do my best to answer them. Inventory location Rack 1 Shelf 1.
