It was apparently displayed in stores or theaters when this movie first played (perhaps in both), and you could order a copy of this poster for 50 cents from a New York company. We don’t know if the poster you got for 50 cents was the same as this poster, or if it had different printing at the bottom, because we have never sold this poster, or anything similar, before. It is almost surely one of the more rare James Bond posters there is, even though there were likely a large number of them made in 1967, because it appears that almost none survive. We know nothing about this poster beyond what is printed on it, and we are certain it is from 1967.
Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has some tiny creases around the edges. When you turn the poster over, you can see that it has very slight creases scattered throughout, but they really don’t show from the front of the poster. It will look wonderful displayed on the wall exactly as it is!
