Important Added Info: Note that on their most important movies of the 1920s, Universal created two sets of 8 cards lobby cards each, sometimes with completely different designs for each set, and sometimes where all the cards look similar. Sometimes there are two title cards for the two sets and sometimes not. We imagine these 14 cards are from two different sets, and they contain one title card, so it would seem that one title card and one scene is not present. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The title card has a jagged 1" tear and creases at top center, running into the top half of woman's face, and someone put clear tape on the back of that area. There is faint water staining in the upper left blank border and there are a few tiny tears in the blank borders. There are two pieces of tape on the back of the bottom border, but they were not put there for any restoration purpose. The card with the steamboat has some discoloration, deterioration and paper loss at bottom with discoloration at lower left and throughout the back of the card. The card with the close-up of Lowe and Fischer has some drip staining and discoloration at lower left. The two cards pictured at the end of our images have been trimmed around the blank borders (see our images). Overall the set is generally in pretty nice condition, and the scene cards have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind!
