Looking For: Old Lionel Train Poster with Johnny Cash

[Anonymous]

I was in a train store the other day and my husband saw a poster hanging on the wall.  He fell in love with it.  Of course it wasn't for sale, but I would love to be able to find one for him for father's day and I was hoping y'all could help me.

I may be just running in place on this one cuz I'm sure it's pretty rare, but I just had to ask.

I can't repeat word for word what the poster said, but it had Johnny Cash on it and it said something to the effect of "You give your child something wonderful when you give him a Lionel train.  You give him Dad" or something very close to that.  I'm assuming it was a poster pull out from a magazine because it appeared to have been folded like that.  The shop owner then had it in a frame.

 

If any of you have any information about this poster or where I can find one, I am willing to pay a good amount to get one. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

 

((and thanks to Ed for directing me to this forum!!!))

The Man in Black. Its a great poster. There was one on e-bay last year that sold for about $35.00. I think these are getting scarce. I think you have the wording about right also. I would love one of these posters as well. E-bay might be your best bet. But I cant imagine too many of those posters survived.

 This isnt the poster but it is the MAN.

Keep a watch on e-bay. I did a search on e-bay and there is alot of Johnny Cash stuff. Another great gift would be the Johnny Cash boxcar. Heres a link.

Thats a good one Buckeye. The one shes talking about has Cash on a L&N boxcar. Black and white with a tag line that cant be beat. Wish I could find it. Any Father would love one of these posters.
