Youth size 100% wool knitted sweater measures 22" tall, 12.5" wide at shoulders, w/18" long sleeves. Stitched "Superman Inc" tag inside back collar w/Superman portrait (from chest up). Irvin Foster Sportswear Co., Inc. © NCP, Inc. 1940s. Sweater comes w/clipped ad for Irvin Foster, noting Superman jackets and sweaters. Sweater features several repeated full body images of Superman flying on both front, back and sleeves, his name below each image. We sold a Superman sweater vest by this company in our Dec. 2011 auction, though it featured just one large image on front/back and did not feature the wonderfully graphic tag this example has. That sweater vest sold for over $2,000. This piece is much more dynamic. Tiny snag on chest w/some trace discoloration to "Superman" name below figure at collar. Back has 1" tear. Fine/VF. Rare and first we've offered in our 48 years. Franco Toscanini Collection.
