Important Added Info: Note that we have NEVER had any movie paper from this obscure double bill before (and we have never auctioned any movie posters from the solo release of 1941's "Jungle Man" before). This poster has a wonderful image and taglines. We would be very surprised if it is from after the 1940s, and it is quite possibly from 1945, soon after "White Pongo" came out (it was very common at that time when a movie did not perform so well, it would be paired with an earlier movie to try to generate more movie showings).

The poster had small paper loss at the middle crossfold and many small tears and small areas of paper loss along all of the foldlines. It almost certainly had a snipe glued over the "Jungle Man" box, because there is surface paper loss to the left and right of that box, and what looks to be glue stains over that title. There are some pinholes and areas of paper loss in the blank borders, with some stains and smudges around the edges of the poster. Someone mounted this poster to linen, but did no restoration. If I owned this cool poster, I would surely have it professionally re-backed, and after proper restoration, it would look incredible! Learn More about condition grades
