Important Added Info: Note that this English window card, unlike U.S. window c ards, is printed on a thin paper that CAN be rolled into a tube, which is why it is in this set of auctions and not in our auctions of U.S. window cards. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because 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: very good. There is a punch hole at upper center to assist with hanging. It has a tiny tear at upper right backed by a tiny piece of tape but overall it is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
