I received this “Gibson Authorized Dealer” sticker in January of 1975. That's when I opened Jacksonville Guitar Center (in Jacksonville, Arkansas) and became a Gibson dealer. I had one of these stickers in the front window of my store, and I put one in the back window of my orange Dodge Challenger.

Recently I was looking through my old stuff and realized I had saved some extras.

I want you bidders to realized this is a window sticker, and is meant to stick to the inside of your window so the people on the outside of the window can see it, but on the inside you will only see the silver back. You can not use it like a bumper sticker or a case sticker, because you would only see the silver back.

I went ahead and peeled one off of the protective paper and took a picture and video so you can see what it looks like. And then set the sticker back onto the paper.

I have two of these for sale on eBay. This is the one I peeled off and then put back on its waxy paper but got it just a little bit crooked (by 1/32”). Although it should still work fine when the new owner uses it.

The sticker measures 10 1/8” X 6 ½”.

This isn't like a vinyl sticker that you can take on and off. Once you put it on glass, it's permanent and looks good for decades. To take it off the glass you will have to scrape it off and use strong cleaner on the glass.

I was surprised to see one like this for sale (on Reverb) and they are asking $177 plus shipping.
