Important Added Info: Note that it is impossible to say if this still is surely from 1922, when this play was produced, or if it is from a later time. We feel certain the absolute latest it could be from is from the early 1930s, but whether it is from 1922 or from the rest of the 1920s, or from the early 1930s, we can't say, so please do not bid on this wonderful still unless you can accept this uncertainty. However, we are inclined to think it is from when the play first came out, so we are listing as being from 1922. It once had a snipe on the back which likely would have given the answer to when this still is from, but sadly, the majority of the snipe is no longer present. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. There is a pair of staple holes and a few tiny scuff marks in each corner. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
