Re: Collector Lynn Naron has passed away...
Very sad news. RIP Lynn. It was always a pleasure looking at he's lovely uni horror posters. It makes you think about collecting all the effort, time, money we put into this hobby and what will happen to our collection after were gone. Its very sad when the passing of a fellow collector occurs.

Been on my mind all day, I'm saddened by this. As much as we never met, it's like a family member going...

Re: Charlie Chaplin daybill
Truth and Sportsman were printing in the 1950s. Have a look at the press sheet image I am posting in the Robin Hood thread.

Re: The Adventures of Robin Hood Australian 3 Sheet
I do think it is very important to get definitive evidence when making a case for the origin of these posters for a number of reasons:
1. Someone paid 15,000 plus for Robin Hood which was described as an original Australian three sheet.
2. Someone else paid 2500.00 approx. for Sea Hawk also described as an original Australian three sheet.
3. If both posters are proved to be reissues then the buyers might be entitled to return the items for a refund.
4. The credibility and origins of rare Australian posters inevitably comes into question when these issues come up. It is fine to raise concerns but we need to be absolutely sure before using words like "definite".
5. Major auction houses are already wary about accepting high value Australian posters for their auctions. Heritage now appears to describe all long daybills as "pre war" rather than say, original 1926 daybill. This is probably because it can be so difficult to accurately date Australian posters and it is easier to describe them all as pre war.
6. The controversy over the Wizard of Oz one sheets left another cloud over Australian posters that only serves to make people from overseas continue to be very wary and dismissive about our posters.
These are just a few reasons why I think you need to absolutely prove your theory before stating it as a fact.
