Elusive Genuine Counterfeit Stamped FD-14 Poster

One of the most popular posters of the Family Dog series, it carries the Zig-Zag rolling papers logo and lettering. When Mouse and Kelley decided to use this design, they apparently knew that it constituted copyright infringement. They included the quotation at the bottom of the poster: “What you don’t know about copying and duplicating won’t hurt you.” Apparently, the Zig-Zag folks saw this poster as great free advertising and never bothered Mouse and Kelley. The poster we offer here is listed in Eric King’s guide as FD-14-PP-6 and it is a bootleg, which we generally do not sell. We are including it in this auction because of its historical value—these were printed back in the day and sold in poster shops. Once the Family Dog people got wind of the bootlegs, they went to the shop and started stamping them with the red stamp seen on the bottom of this piece.
Medium: A Buyers Premium of 15% will be added to the hammer price of all lots.
