Important Added Info: Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 5 1/4" x 7 1/4". There is much pencil writing on the back of the still describing the scene on the front (apparently, the complete still shows McKinney standing next to William Fountaine, and someone wanted to just frame the McKinney part, so they trimmed Fountaine out). Condition: good. The still is trimmed to 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" , but is otherwise in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
