There are a number of tiny (1/16" to 1/32") on the Window Card, the main ones being, (a) after the "B" in "GABLE", (b) in and around the words "WITH CLARK" and "HER FALL", and (c) to the left of the "S" in "SUSAN". There is some loss of color (in total maybe "1/2" in several location on the bottom right border - coloring is missing (see photo).

    Description

    This is the Original (1sh) 1931 Window Card
    SUSAN LENOX (HER FALL AND RISE)
    .  It was used by
    MGM
    to promote this movie when it was released in 1931.  It is not a reprint nor a reproduction.  The movie stars
    Greta Garbo, Clark Gable,
    Jean Hersholt, John Miljan, Alan Hale, and Hale Hamilton.
    It was directed by Robert Z. Leonard.
    This restored Window Card comes Flat, and measures 14" x 22".
    It will be mailed Flat.  It is on Cardstock, which can best be described as medium stock cardboard thickness.  In other words, vey sturdy.
    This original Window Card is graded C8.5, Very Fine to Near Mint.
    Original movie posters are graded as follows from the top down: C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine/Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), etc.
    Prior to restoration, this Window Card was graded a C7 Fine/Very Fine.  Restoration included t
    ouchup to several areas in the image area to include some of the lettering and the artwork of Garbo and Gable. lustration.
    This Window Card now displays very nicely and can be immediately framed and displayed with excellent results. Possibly proper framing and matting can help to alleviate the black marks/smudges that are on the left side edge.  We say "edge" as Window Cards do not have a border area like the borders found on most original movie posters.
    This 1931 Window Card has certainly maintained its classic appearance.
    We feel that the 1931 Window Card
    SUSAN LENOX (HER FALL AND RISE)
    has tremendous
    investment value.  The One Sheet (27" x 41") of
    SUSAN LENOX (HER FALL AND RISE)
    is valued in the thousands of dollars, valued at ,500 on
    IGUIDE
    .  In addition, two iconic stars like
    Greta Garbo and Clark Gable
    will always have their fans and collectors which will create demand now and in the future.  I also have an affinity for original movie posters, Lobby Cards, Window Cards, etc., from the 1930s, which obviously does not affect the value of these items or of this Window Card, but movie memorabilia of almost 90 years old probably creates rare items when iconic stars and movies are involved - which is certainly the case here.
