CONDITION...
]
In exceptionally nice vintage condition, from a non-smoking environment.
Notice minor age issues: edge stain, small edge tears, age yellowing, evidence of thumbtacks at corners.
The poster has been stored all these years carefully rolled up; it has never been folded.  It will be shipped in a mailing tube.
Displays beautifully!
The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?)  It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that
there will be something
about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.
PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING.  I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
