    Description

    Up for sale is a really neat vintage 1931 advertisement for LIFE SAVERS mint candy menthol cough drops.
    The ad features a time lapse challenge of sorts to the One Minute Cough Drops.
    The reverse side is a portrait and short blurb on Richard Arlen on his successes after "Wings."
    This was pulled mostly like from Modern Screen Magazine, Photoplay, or Screen Romances Magazine.
    Please see the pictures, as I don't have any grading criteria for single ads.  I'd like to add:
    -- Paper is yellowed a bit as expected after ~90 years.
    -- Slight rippling along left edge as seen.
    -- This page still has the staple holes from where I pulled them out, I left all of the extra border for easier framing.
    -- Random scuffing typical of black and white prints of the era.
    Page measures ~8 1/2" x 11 1/2".
    The pictures shown are of the actual item you're buying.
    SHIPPING AND OTHER DETAILS:
    Current USPS delays affecting us all.  eBay article linked here.
    Additional ads or colorotos will ship FREE.  eBay should discount automatically; but if it doesn’t, I will refund the extra postage. Promise.
    I ship these old prints loosely rolled in small cardboard tubes.  I generally don't trust sending them flat, and it costs the same.
    US buyers will pay exact shipping for a
    4
    oz parcel via USPS First Class Mail.
    Orders received before Noon MST will ship same business day, otherwise next business day.
    There are no returns accepted on this item.  I take a lot of time to represent my items accurately, their beauties and their flaws.
    Import duties, taxes, and related charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Anything beyond item cost and shipping charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
    I will not undervalue items on Customs forms, or mark merchandise as a Gift, it’s a violation of law and a bad look.
