If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that not only have we never auctioned this window card before, but we can't find that anyone has! We were trying to locate another image to see if what was trimmed from the top entered the edge of the image, but since we couldn't find one, we can't say for certain. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 16 1/2" [36 x 42 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: good. The blank top was trimmed off, and it may have very slightly touched the top edge of the image (see above). There is some minor scuffing scattered in the image, with a few minor creases and stains around the edges (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
