    Description

    This is the Original (1sh) 1929 Title Lobby Card
    THE IRON MASK.
    It was used by
    United Artists
    to promote this movie at theatres and movie houses in 1929.  The 1929 Title Lobby Card of
    THE IRON MASK
    is not a reprint nor a reproduction.  The movie stars
    Douglas Fairbanks, Marguerite De La Motte, Dorothy Revier
    , Belle Bennett, William Bakewell, Nigel De Brulier, Leon Barry, Stanley J. Stanford, Gino Corrado, and Ulrich Haupt.  It was directed by Allan Dwan.
    This unrestored movie Title Lobby Card measures 11" x 14".
    It comes with an unattached stiff cardboard backing.
    This original Title Lobby Card is graded C7, Fine/Very Fine.
    Original movie Lobby Cards 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), C4 (Good), etc.   This Title Lobby Card generally has a very presentable appearance and can immediately be framed and presented for display with excellent results.  The multiple pin holes are the main concern and they are not readily noticeable at a viewing distance, but are apparent closer up.
    Restoration of this Title Lobby Card would certainly improve its appearance.  If you are interested in this Title Lobby Card and would like to possibly have it restored, we can do that for you and just add the cost of restoration to the price of the Card.  Or we can just refer you to one of the professional restoration companies that we use, whose prices are very reasonable and their results are incredible.  We feel that the cost of restoration would be recaptured in the increased value, and increased investment value, of this original 1929 Lobby Card of
    THE IRON MASK
    .

    THE IRON MASK

    THE IRON MASK
    in circulation or for sale, although they may be out there somewhere - our search was not exhaustive.
