Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image, and a nail hole near the center of the poster, near the base of the silhouette figure, and some stains in the arm and head of the silhouette figure. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. Given the large number of defects, the poster was pretty well backed by a talented restorer, but it required a great deal of restoration paint in the background areas and in the red letters of the title (no doubt this was done to "even out" both areas, but it resulted in the poster having a "restored" look). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). If you can accept the substantial restoration the card has had, and its restored look in the background and title letter areas, I think you will be happy with how it displays.
