Item description from seller

Monochrome; This is a small broadsheet (approx. 9" x 14") advertisement from the Hawk Model Aeroplane Co. , which later became Hawk Model Company. The Broadside is in Fair / Good only condition, with edge tears, nicks and chips missing. There is a burn mark with tidemarking to the upper right quadrant. "Hawk Model Airplanes was established in 1928 by brothers Dick (Sr. ) and Phil Mates in Chicago, Illinois. Promoted as "America's Oldest Model Company", the company was purchased by the Testors Corporation in 1970. The Hawk Company assets were later acquired by J. Lloyd International, Inc. Of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which, in turn, sold them to Round 2 LLC of South Bend, Indiana in 2013. From its inception in 1928 to the early 1950s the company manufactured a successful line of solid-wood aircraft models, which eventually included injection-molded generic plastic propellers. The Mates brothers exhibited built-up and painted plastic models at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1934. During World War II, Hawk helped to supply plastic identification models for use in military training." (from Wikipedia).…
