Vintage 1979 Nassau Coliseum Hobby Expo 79 Poster

Bold dark blue graphics feature drawings of a race-car, a model plane, a model train, a model boat, a camera, a doll, playing cards, and more. Title font is in a lovely script - what we would now call '70s retro - like "That 70s Show".

Previous owner stored this folded over across the middle horizontally, and there is some discoloring - small tear on upper edge, lower right corner is missing a small part, likely from where it was originally posted.
