Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this window card! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 16 3/4" [36 x 43 cm]. Also note that 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: poor to fair. The blank top was trimmed off. The card has many stains throughout, with surface paper loss scattered throughout and some paper loss in two corners, and also pinholes around the edges. The back of the card was painted over to advertise a "March of Time" short. Obviously, this very rare window card can be restored, but bear in mind its many defects and the cost of restoration before bidding.
