Looking for High Quality Elco Ad Picture
https://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=535
I am looking for a good quality picture from the Elco "Knights of the Sea" ad... It is the one with the pt boat and the knight on the horse above it.
I am working on a project for my grandfather who was an electrician on Tulagi Island and was on Several PT Boats.
If you have a good quality image, please e-mail it to me at mx278@metrocast.net
I am also in the process of scanning all my grandfathers old pictures and will try to post many of them as soon as I can.

Pat Matthews has the most extensive collection of WWII PT Boat ads that I've ever seen, including the very popular one that you're looking for. Click on the "Links" button above to get to his website. You may find one there you like even better, and can then then contact him for better resolution pic.

If you do not have any luck with Pat, let me know, I have over 275 original PT BOAT ADS which are just wonderful. Most are in the traditional Black and White, but I have several that are in color including the KNIGHTS OF THE SEA.........

Headquarters has a print of "The Knights of the Sea" for $5.00 or a set of 5 PT related prints for $20.00. See the "Ship's Store" link below:

Below is how the print looks, not sure what size print is available at the Ship's Store:
