Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned an example of this herald (we auctioned a different style of herald, but it was only single color)! This is one of an excellent collection of 27 rare heralds from the late 1930s and early 1940s which was recently discovered. Many of them are ones we have either never auctioned before or only auctioned once or twice. The heralds were all printed in the U.S., but were mostly used in theaters in Egypt, so most have overprinting on the back for an Egyptian movie theater. Also, almost all of the heralds have either tiny circular holes scattered in the image (sometimes very few, sometimes more), and some of them have larger paper loss somewhere in the image. We strongly suggest you look closely at our images of the fronts and backs of these rare heralds before bidding on them, so you can see the location of the tiny circular holes or larger paper loss. Condition: fair to good. There are four tiny circular holes and two slightly larger areas of paper loss scattered in the herald. There is also bleed-through from the printing on the back in the light colored areas, including in the stars' faces. See above for more about the condition of this herald and please look at our super-sized images of both sides before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
