Vintage 1920s Haines The Shoe Wizard Advertising Fan York PA William Coffin

This 1920s–1930s die-cut cardboard hand fan brings together advertising history and Americana in one striking piece. The front features a portrait by renowned illustrator William Haskell Coffin, while the reverse advertises Mahlon Haines, the eccentric businessman behind Pennsylvania's famous Shoe House, complete with store locations and his own portrait. The original wooden handle remains secure, and though a center crease and light wear mark its age, the vibrant colors and graphics endure—making it a genuine collectible for those drawn to vintage advertising and roadside Americana.
