We have only auctioned one example of it in the past 18 years! Condition: fair to good. There is paper loss at the middle crossfold. There is surface paper loss in Kong's mouth, with a stain above it, and tiny pinholes in his lower lip. There is small paper loss at the other two crossfolds and 4" of separation in the left of the bottom horizontal fold, with paper loss in the left blank border to the left of that. There are many pinholes around the edges, with some paper loss caused by rough removal of the pins. There are many tiny pinholes scattered throughout the poster, with small paper loss in the background to the left of Fay Wray's credit. Someone put some conservation tape on the back of several of the tears and separations, but otherwise did no restoration. Obviously, this poster needs to be linenbacked and restored, so bear that in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
