Williams RED WHITE BLUE  1956

Here is something a little nostalgic for a gameroom conversation piece!   CPR had this long lost artwork master sitting in our archives from well over a dozen years ago.  Not much attention had ever been paid to this little gem, but we decided to bring this out of the mothballs into availability for those who may be interested in a very unique gameroom wall hanging.

In 1956, Red White Blue was an electromechanical pin Williams never put into final production, and it is speculated that possibly only a few ever existed.  Whether or not even one can be found today, is up for debate.  A lone backglass DID exist, however.  It was in terrible shape, but was used in the painstaking restoration of a layers & colors vector redraw that we have in our archives.

This reproduction is a mint, brand new multi-layer print, including lightblock on the backside.  Can be illuminated as original. Produced on heavy 4mm tempered glass, same beefy thickness as the original.  Made at original scale of exactly 22 x 21 inches.

REPRODUCTION BACKGLASS CARE and RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Never “triple thick” or apply any additional coatings to the backside of the glass.
  • Alcohol, acetone, and most ‘rattle-can’ liquids must NEVER contact with the ink.
  • If laying a glass down on its backside, always put down a towel or fabric to lay on.
  • The glass stock is tempered – so avoid significant hot-cold temperature shifts.
  • Be cautious of any impacts to the edges, such as setting the glass down on a concrete floor.
  • Never allow ‘sitting’ moisture on the backside.  After 5-7 minutes there is a risk of ink degradation.
  • Do not spray cleaner directly onto the backside as prolonged contact with liquids may damage your glass.
  • If you must clean the backside (bulb dirt, etc.) wipe with a pre-dampened cloth (water or Windex).
  • After wiping, make sure the liquid is dried off (wipe all the way to dry).  Do not allow any moisture to sit.
  • Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the fronts is fine.
  • Don’t let cleaner sit between the channels and your glass.
