...honestly? RUN - don't walk - away from these...they're not 'paper ads out of magazines' - these are poorly-made color photocopies made from maps and other emphemera...copied then 'aged'...they are offered on eBay quite frequently by several sellers; among them, 'acofind' and 'taminator1969'...the Gulf (which I've seen several times on eBay) is merely an enlargement from a motorist's mileage book...there are two Gulf maps which have received the same treatment:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-GULF-GASOLINE-GAS-N-OIL-ORANGE-DISC-WINDOW-SIGN-POSTER-/161347086677

...note the top portion that says INFO-MAP or TOURGIDE MAP are cropped out...
...here's the Associated 'poster' on eBay:

...there are also many Winchester, Sinclair, Harley-Davidson, circus, seed, etc. posters...they're all smaller than 11 x 17" - 'tabloid' size, which is standard on color photocopiers...
