An Original Vintage Theatrical Stock Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18 1/2") (Learn More) an undated 1930s Gene Autry stock poster created by Republic Pictures for use by theaters showing Gene Autry movies in the 1930s. Theaters showing Gene Autry movies would order this stock poster (which was sometimes sent blank, and sometimes sent with titles of specific movies overprinted in the bottom area). When a poster was sent blank, the theater would either place a snipe in the blank area, overprint the title themselves, or hand write in the name of the particular Gene Autry movie they were showing that week, and then they could reuse the poster with a different snipe at a later time, thus getting many posters for the price of one! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and now measures 14" x 18 1/2". The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Condition: fair. The poster is water stained throughout. If a restorer can remove the stains through chemical means, then the poster can be restored with very little paint restoration, but if not, it would require overpainting the stains and the poster would be heavily restored.
