Description
A bold little piece of roadside Americana, this vintage Texas souvenir decal captures the graphic charm of mid-century travel ephemera in one compact design. Featuring the state of Texas, cowboy imagery, and the phrase “The Lone Star State,” it was made as a water-slide transfer decal, complete with original backing and application instructions from Baxter Lane Co. of Amarillo, Texas.
Bright, nostalgic, and unmistakably regional, it is the kind of piece that works beautifully framed, archived, or added to a collection of vintage travel souvenirs and western ephemera. A small object, but one with plenty of attitude. Humans do love putting mythology on paper and calling it tourism.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
