Important Added Info: Note that Will Rogers was the foremost movie star for Fox Pictures in the early 1930s, and was at the height of his career when he was killed in a plane crash in 1935. Fox had just merged with Twentieth Century Pictures to form 20th Century Fox (Rogers had made one movie for the combined company), and immediately after his death, and for the year after, 20th Century Fox re-issued all of his sound movies. This poster is from the 1936 re-release of Rogers' 1933 "State Fair". This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. There are tack holes around the edges of the card. There is a nail hole in Gaynor's cheek and another in the carnival tent to the right of Gaynor. There is paper loss in the center of the credits from an enlarged nail hole and a nail hole between the "R" and "O" of "ROGERS" at top left. Learn More about condition grades
