This is slowly eating away at the fiber of my being, and you know that's bad.
Sometime in January, a man brought a series of patriotic posters to 'Antiques Roadshow.' They had been done in the 1940s for a big defense contractor (I remember it as being McDonnell Douglas) on safety and patriotic themes. They were fun and bold and vaguely scientific. I'm only now coming to realize that they would be perfect for the walls of my patent law office. They were appraised at about three thousand dollars.
Could anyone here have seen that? And remembered anything that would help me track down those (or similar) posters?
Many thanks!

They were not by Norman Rockwall, they were by a local artist. They were posters hung in a factory to encourage workers to do their best during war time. I checked the PBS web site but couldn't track them down. Maybe someone else will have more luck.
I don't remember what they were valued at but I do remember they looked like they had never been used.

There is an article in Antique Week Central edition about the posters. I already threw mine out, but you can contact Antique Week and someone there can send you a copy of the article.
