Original 1st printing 4&1/8 x 6&3/4" concert handbill for Quicksilver Messenger Service with the Nazz-Are Blues Band and Dr. P.H. Martin's Magic Medicine Show (lights) at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on 31-2/1968. Artist unknown, image is number P-3 (the third poster in the official numbered series) in the Family Dog/Portland series. Thin glossy stock handbill (the Crystal handbills were printed on unused soup can labels, I've been told) is in absolutely gorgeous mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; aside from one or two tiny pinch dings, it's as pretty much as sharp/crisp as they come. A VERY nice-looking example of this VERY hard-to-find QMS/FD item...be sure to check out our other listings for a wide selection of original posters and handbills from Oregon, including a few really unique one-of-a-kind items.
