Artist: John Held Jr.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a 4-page trade ad that was removed from the MGM 1926-27 campaign book. Someone framed it and displayed it in a nice double mat that measures 18 1/4" x 24 1/4". We can ship solely the trade ad (which is "roll-able") or we could also ship the nice mat with it, but then it would require a very large flat package which measures approximately 20" x 26". The 4-page trade ad was printed on two pages of the campaign book. They were removed and then glued together (see our images).

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it.

Condition: very good. The pages were removed from a campaign book and glued together (see above). The mat is in nice condition (but remember we will only send the mat if the winning bidder wants us to, because it will increase the shipping cost).
