If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the consignor of this window card (and several others we are offering at auction currently) chose to display it in a special way. He folded back the top 4" of the card (which does not affect the image of course), and then he had the card placed in an attractive colored mat. He has sent us both the window cards and the colored mats. We are auctioning only the window card, but if its new owner wishes, we can send the mat that was cut for this window card along with it (but bear in mind that it will cost extra, because it will make the package larger, and the mat can only be used if the new owner re-folds the top 4" of the card). If we are not contacted by the buyer that they want us to send the mat, we will simply send the window card and discard the mat. Condition: good to very good. The top 4" was folded back . There is some darkening in the white background areas and there is a snipe that was taped and glued to the top blank area. Learn More about condition grades
