Important Added Info: Note that we have seen these 4" x 11" cardboard posters (printed on a stiff window card-like stock) described as "counter displays" or "drugstore counter displays", and we have also seen frames that hold several of them, and we imagine there were also frames that held a single one of these. But we don't really know exactly how they were used! We do know they are extremely rare, especially on better titles, and that they seem to have been primarily made in the 1940s and 1950s (perhaps they started right after World War II). If anyone knows more about this size, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There is a faint water stain below Reed's face at upper right. It left a brown line that runs from her hair to her dress (see our image). Otherwise, the display is in really nice condition. Certainly, slight restoration could be performed to the above defect, or it could be displayed as it is. Learn More about condition grades
