You are bidding on a near-mint condition vintage 1979 magazine full-color advertisement from BUCYRUS-ERIE COMPANY, CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY featuring their 350-H HYDRAULIC BACKHOE/EXCAVATOR. Page size is approximately 7-1/2” wide x 10-1/2”. Printed on excellent quality heavy shiny glossy paper, the back cover of the magazine. Carefully removed from a popular vintage 1979 construction industry magazine.

”SAMPLE” will not be on the original ad, it is only on the scanned image.

”THE 350-H CLAWS THROUGH ROCK, HARD CLAY AND WINTER FROST TO TACKLE YOUR BIG TOUGH JOBS.” Nicely illustrated with 4 color photos: top - digging tough sandstone in Wyoming, right - digging 3 feet of frost in Minnesota, bottom - side profile , and left - digging hard clay in New Jersey.

This outstanding advertisement is a near-mint quality magazine full-color advertisement, printed on excellent heavy shiny glossy paper still in near-mint condition. All edges are good, no marks, no mildew, no rips ... as close to ‘perfect’ as I think you will find for being 28 years old.
