Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this special one-sheet, which measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]! IT IS ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL 1930s ONE-SHEETS WE HAVE EVER SEEN! It was clearly printed by RKO and surely at the same time they printed their regular one-sheets, but it was created to be a promotional tie-in between the movie Swing Time and Fred Astaire appearing on the radio on the Packard Radio Hour on NBC! Not only we have we never auctioned this poster before, but we have also never auctioned a similar 1930s promotional tie-in one-sheet from RKO or any other studio. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time. There is separation in the left one quarter of the bottom horizontal fold and there is an uneven tear in the bottom quarter of the left horizontal fold, so that portion of the poster in the bottom left is separated from the rest, but there is no paper loss. There are some tears and darkening and small paper loss in the top and bottom borders and pretty minor fold wear. After a simple linenbacking this incredibly rare poster will display wonderfully!
