Description

Fantastic original vintage poster advertising the seaplane route between the California mainland and Avalon, operated by Air Catalina.

This fine poster shows a Grumman Goose seaplane as it approaches the island off the coast of Los Angeles.

Strangely, no company operating under the name Air Catalina flying a Grumman Goose floatplane appears to have operated flights to Avalon from Long Beach. This may refer to an unrecorded name change of Catalina Airlines, which underwent a number of such name changes between the 1950s and the 1980s, before focusing on helicopter services.

Several editions of this poster appeared, with varying borders and tints of blue used.

(Los Angeles) The Latest City Map of Los Angeles Compliments of Bekins Van and Storage Co.

Intricate street map of Los Angeles from the early 1940s. Many roads, highways, and railroads are illustrated. The map names all the depicted streets and includes some notable locations like the LA Coliseum of Union Depot. The locations of Bekins storage (publishers of this map) are bolded and written larger than anything else. The map's title block also features a list of their locations across LA. The map itself is done with an alpha-numeric grid so someone can reference a location based on the indexed list of streets. The names of neighborhoods are lightly dotted across the map.
