If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and now measures 14" x 16 3/4".

Condition: good. The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. The card was folded down the middle at one time.
