Snowmobile Ephemera Appraisal

Vintage Snowmobile Club Promotional Pamphlet

This item is a vintage pamphlet or booklet, likely an informational or promotional piece, featuring a colorful illustration on its cover. The cover art depicts a group of four individuals gathered around a campfire in a snowy, wooded winter setting, indicative of a snowmobiling excursion. Two snowmobiles, one yellow and one orange, are partially visible on either side of the scene. The overall color palette is cool, with dominant blues and whites for the snow and sky, contrasted by warm earth tones for the figures' clothing (e.g., a yellow jacket) and the orange tent and campfire. The illustration style suggests an mid-20th century, possibly 1960s or 1970s, aesthetic, characterized by bold outlines and a somewhat graphic, less photorealistic approach. The print is on paper or light cardstock, exhibiting some light wear and aging, including slight discoloration and minor creasing along the edges, consistent with its age and handling. There's a subtle fold or crease visible near the bottom left corner, and the edges appear slightly softened. The bottom edge of the cover features a slogan: "LEARN FROM EXPERTS" on the left, an emblem resembling a gear or sprocket in the center, and "JOIN A SNOWMOBILE CLUB" on the right. The visible emblem is a black square with a white gear-like design inside. This implies the item is promoting snowmobiling safety or community involvement. The back of the item is not visible, but the presence of other similar-looking items underneath suggests it's part of a collection or series. The item's condition indicates it has been stored but retains its central visual appeal.
