Important Added Info: Note that in addition to the regular Spanish herald created for this movie, special heralds were created that were "faux" passports of the lead stars (we know that there was one created for Ingrid Bergman and one for Paul Henreid, and there may or may not have been others created as well). The "passport" has a picture of Ingrid Bergman, and she is NOT named with her character name in the movie (Ilsa Lund), but rather her own name, and instead of simply "Ingrid Bergman", it is written as "Ingrid Bergman Lindstrom", which was her full married name at the time! There is a date on the passport of March 17, 1942, which is several months from before the movie was released anywhere, and we are not sure why that would be. We have only three times before auctioned this special "Ingrid Bergman passport" style Spanish herald. We are currently also auctioning (in a separate auction) the "Paul Henreid" style herald in a separate auction. If anyone knows more about these special heralds, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. There is faint brown staining down the center of both sides and a little around the edges (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
