I have a Recruiting poster from WWII that was done by Matt Murphy. It is an original print I think, It came from a recruiting office in I think from Buffalo NY an Officer who was there. I have many. They have benn rolled up since 1936 or 37? can't really see the post marks that well on all of them. I have prints that were directly sent to these recruiting stations also. frank Ochs, I have doubles. The painting that MM did is ship # 384 and is followed by a fleet. I also have a charles robert anderson print , copy write 1925. very good condition. Don't know what these are worth and I am interested in selling.
