1937. This piece is the rarest of the rare and survives in beautiful overall condition. Complete with top banner piece and two separate standup cardboard cutouts. Colors, graphics, and dimension are truly outstanding. The top piece slides into two slots at the top of the background piece and the door swings out. It is designed to slide into a sleeve in the middle of the top panel by virtue of a tab and receiver that holds it in the proper position. The two standups on either side also have large tabs that slide into a sleeve to secure them in their proper positions. The only detriments are some minor stains to very top center panel; otherwise, just minor stains, minor edge bends, light surface marks, and rubs. At a few outside edges and tips, as well as at a few natural fold lines there has been export restoration that is extremely hard to detect and wonderfully well-done. The back of the piece has significant staining and light to medium soiling. Displays much better than the rated condition.
Condition: (8.4 - 8.8, Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 47" x 51".
