ABOUT TROLLEY CARDS:
Trolley cards measure 21" x 27" and resemble jumbo window cards, except they don't have a blank space at the top like a jumbo window card does. Trolley cards were printed for local theaters and, therefore, will sometimes have the theater name printed on them.
Most of the Trolley Cards that have survived are from the 1920s and 1930s and were originally used in San Francisco, California where they were displayed on the famous Trolley cars there, which is why they are called trolley cards. They are generally Silkscreen art, so you can actually see and feel the painted areas, and the artwork is almost always uniquely different than other poster art being more bold and graphic. Trolley cards are highly collectible as they are very difficult to find and are becoming more scarce as years go by.
