Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. As is quite common with cards from this double bill, this card was used by a theater that was solely showing "Bride of Frankenstein". In that case, theaters would cover over the title of the other movie, so that people seeing this on display would not think they were seeing both movies. Sometimes theaters would glue a paper snipe over the unused title, but in this case, they put black censor paint over the "Son of Frankenstein" title. We think it is EXTREMELY unlikely that the paint can be removed by a restorer without damaging the printing underneath, but it is possible that we are wrong. However, it is most likely that the card needs to either be displayed as it is, or have the correct title repainted over the black paint, so please do not bid on this card unless you can accept this very significant defect. There is a pair of staple holes and a tiny tape stain in each blank corner, with tiny surface paper loss in the bottom left blank corner, where the tape was roughly removed. There are tiny numbers written in pencil in the top right blank corner and in the right of the bottom blank border. The inset photo is in nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
