We have never auctioned this one from the first release of the movie in 1936 in all our years of auctioning! Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes and stains around the edges with a few small tears and tiny paper loss in the bottom right blank corner. It also has a few smudges, scuff marks and stains scattered through the poster, including in the star's cheeks. Someone put tape on the back of some of the border pinholes and also in the back of a tear in the image below the right of the title, which had some tiny surface paper loss. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that many or most of the faint stains in the image can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration of those defects and the border defects the poster will look fantastic, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
