If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 16 years ago, when it sold for $770! The dates on the top blank area correlate to May of 1922, and it could be that the card was printed in 1921 and used in May of 1922, but it is just as likely that the movie was still in continuous release in the middle of 1922, given that it was a major success! Condition: good to very good. The card was cut across the center into two pieces. Someone taped the two pieces back together from the reverse and they did not match up the two pieces perfectly and there is a slight gap between the two. There are smudges in the blue background areas. Learn More about condition grades
