Col. Tim McCoy's Real Wild West. [1938], 27 x 41 in. Photo offset. Tooker Moore Litho Co., N.Y. Showing Col. McCoy and his "Rough Riders of the World." Condition: A-. Folds and light toning; the date is written in ink twice at lower right. McCoy was an actual cowboy who appeared in several western movies; he was among the most popular western stars by the 1930s. In 1935 he traveled with the Ringling Bros. Circus, and in 1938 started his own Wild West show. It was unsuccessful and he returned to acting, winning an Emmy for his TV show, The Tim McCoy Show. He was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1974. This poster is scarce because the circus operated one year only--1938.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
