Keep calm and carry on for $28,500.

You’ve seen the poster reprints, of course. And the coffee mugs and the rest?

Turns out an original “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster, first printed by the British Government in 1939, has been found and put up for auction.

It’s going for £21,000, which is about $28,000.

You gotta wonder how much David Cameron would pay.
