Important Added Info: Note that Warner Bros. in the 1930s and 1940s almost always made "stock" posters for their cartoons, choosing to save money by not making individual posters for each cartoon. Each stock poster had a blank area that measured roughly 8" x 9". The studio would print paper snipes that had information and an image about each specific cartoon, and those would be sent to theaters, who could paste it on their stock poster when they showed that specific cartoon. These paper snipes are incredibly rare. Sometimes they are found on the corresponding stock poster, and sometimes they are found loose (and of course, a collector that owns a loose snipe could acquire a stock one-sheet with a blank area and merge the two!). Also note that ANY movie paper from this cartoon short is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this snipe! Not only that, but we have only ever auctioned a total of four of these snipes from ANY Warner Bros. cartoons, and only two of those four had Porky and one had Bugs, and one of the Porkys sold for $370!

Condition: good to very good. There are tack holes in the corners and stains in the top left corner and in the center of the top and bottom borders.
