Rare original vintage 1967 American Express \"Cards\" commercial storefront window decal collection, offered as a matching 8-piece wholesale New Old Stock (NOS) merchant lot. Masterfully manufactured under design code series 6701-C, this premium mid-century corporate advertising lot represents a phenomenal bulk find of historic financial Americana, surviving together as an impressive, high-turnover investment package.
These are authentic, oversized internal merchant window signs featuring the classic, definitive mid-century American Express Shield and Centurion/Gladiator profile logo design. The text and graphics are intentionally printed in a mirror-reversed layout. These are specialized large-format transface glass decals, beautifully engineered so a 1960s retail business owner, boutique hotelier, or restaurateur could apply the adhesive face directly to the interior glass of their establishment\'s entry door, allowing passing pedestrian street traffic to read the \"AMERICAN EXPRESS CARDS\" text perfectly from the outside. Each massive individual rectangular backing card tracks at a large, commanding footprint of 16 inches in height by 12 inches in width. The lower right margin of each sheet features the original vintage upside-down corporate production registration stamp reading: \"6701-C PRINTED IN U.S.A.\"
The vast majority of the 8 decals are in very good to excellent New Old Stock condition, retaining deep, beautiful two-tone blue and cream-yellow shield colorations with crisp white borders. To provide full, professional transparency for advanced advertising collectors, one or two of the sheets exhibit minor signs of age-appropriate storage shelf wear along the outer margins, including a small amount of layer separation at one or two of the cardboard backing corners. This is an entirely natural characteristic for 60-year-old stored paper stock; the core central shield graphics and internal adhesive surfaces on all 8 pieces remain clean, stable, un-faded, and ready for immediate framing, display, or retail store implementation. An exceptional centerpiece lot for advanced vintage advertising collectors, financial history completionists, and retro commercial interior designers looking for a premium wholesale bulk lot.

Condition Grading & Technical Stock Inspection Report:
This vintage 1967 American Express window decal 8-count stock lot stands in very good overall original collector condition. The vast majority of the bulk grouping is beautifully preserved, carrying vivid, unfaded inks and sharp graphic lines. The core shield transfer areas are free of historical moisture staining or paper rot. Out of the 8 total units, a couple of the sheets show minor, uniform shelf storage friction, including slight edge wear and minor splitting or fraying on the corners of the heavy cardstock backings. This wear remains completely confined to the outer white margins, leaving the underlying decal emblems fully intact and physically unaffected.
Professional Shipping & Oversized Flat Advertising Paper Material Packaging:
Due to the large dimensions, vintage paper properties, and bulk quantities of this 8-piece 1967 American Express decal lot, it will be prepared for carrier transit with dedicated protective care. To absolutely guarantee that the backing boards do not incur any corner folds, edge crimps, surface creases, or pressure bending under automated carrier sorting machinery, the lot will never be shipped inside a flexible poly-mailer or loose envelope. The full stack of 8 decals will be layered flat inside an archival poly barrier sleeve to protect against moisture exposure. This bundle will be securely sandwiched between two oversized sheets of thick, rigid heavy-duty corrugated cardboard to form an unbendable protective shell. This armored unit will be wrapped in multiple layers of shock-absorbing bubble packaging and centered inside a rigid shipping box tightly packed out with void fill to eliminate internal movement during transit. Sent with full automated tracking and transit insurance protection.
