This is a vintage original folded one sheet poster for the 1951 MGM drama film Home Town Story.   This movie featured Marlyn Monroe in one of her earlier screen appearances along with Jeffrey Lynn, Donald Crisp, Marjorie Reynolds and Alan Hale Jr. among others.  This poster features a few images from the movie including one of Marilyn Monroe.    

This is a used poster showing moderate handling wear and a couple inches of separation on the center vertical fold line at the top edge.   The poster is free of tape and has no paper loss.  There is a single pinhole on each corner, some wear on the fold lines, what looks like a staple hole in the center and two brief wax pencil notations on verso which don’t show on the front side.    The poster does have the title hand stamped in red ink on the back of the poster which does show through lightly on the front side.  Overall condition is Good to Very Good.
