Important Added Info: Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, movie studios made silk burgees (also called silk banners) for most major releases. These were printed on a silk (or silk-like) material, with a gold fringe at the bottom, and usually with an opening at the top through which a wooden pole could be inserted, usually with a rope attached to both ends of the pole, so that the burgee could be hung from a nail at the theater. Few silk burgees are known to survive, and many collectors are not even aware of their existence! Condition: fair to good. There are some water stains, tears, and small areas of paper loss scattered through the banner. Please do not bid on this banner unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
