Hi there, does anyone have any information on this framed 3D Winchester sign? Im wondering when they were made and how common they are? This one is I believe Frank Stick “whitetail hunter”. I found it at an antique store maybe 10-15 years ago.
I cant seem to find any information about them online, other than an auction site that seems to have sold a few of different ads but i dont see any of this same one, they do all seem to have the same frame.
Thank you – Rich

I had a “Winchester 20 Gauge Shotguns” Hammerless Light and Strong framed 3D print back in the day. It wasn’t actually vintage Winchester Advertising, but a newer piece that as I recall had a silver foil sticker on the back indicating it was licensed by Winchester. The format of your ‘print’ looks very similar and the frame (wood) appears to be identical

All things considered the sign is not that old, relatively speaking anyways, its a modern sign. These raised relief (embossed) signs are likely no earlier than the 1960 / 1970s and can be made as recently as yesterday. The same technique is used on making raised relief globes that started becoming popular in the 1950s.

It is a beautiful item and I track a lot of Winchester Art and here is my take on it..
These were popular man-cave/gun-room decor pieces, often sold through sporting goods stores or as premiums in the 70’s. Not ultra-rare like early 1900s paper posters, but desirable for the dimensional hunter figure (adds depth vs. flat tin signs).
Value estimate: In this displayed condition (minor dust/age wear, vibrant colors intact), $100–$300 retail/private sale (eBay comps for similar 3D Winchester hunter plaques cluster $150–$250; higher if mint/original packaging). Tin/flat reproductions go cheaper ($30–$80), but the relief sculpt bumps it up.
It is rare enough you don’t see them very often and you could ask a lot more and see if someone wants it bad enough. I have seen more than one patient eBay seller get many times what I believe the value is by virtue of simple supply and demand. So, if don’t mind waiting you never know. Good luck
