I don't have time to open packages... Yours is still leaning in the foyer. I opened about 6 the other day but didn't have time to snap the photos.

Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
At my age, I am more thinking about selling items than buying them! It happens to EVERY collector eventually (unless they pass away first).

Re: Jedda
Thanks John for pointing this out. I just read the original daybill quote at the top of the sellers page and didn't scrole down to the measurements listed further down the page. And the seller is asking $ 475 Australian for this poster.The poster on the right is misrepresented on eBay - clearly not an original daybill but some sort of framed repro measuring approx 6" x 14"

Re: Gray Smith announcment
Teaming up with Bruce to completely corner the market - they’re just hashing out what to do about a buyer’s premium
Re: Hondo's This And That
Thanks for the additional information.
O.k., I now believe that I have solved the story behind this poster.
A ) Take one original Australian The Giant Claw daybill poster design.
B ) Remove the Giant Claw action image only from the daybill and substitute this original image with the new Giant Claw only image, leaving everything else exactly the same on the amended poster.
C ) Stretch all the original credits out to create a new size poster design.

Re: The Lost Weekend
A fuller censorship rating classification on the poster here than was displayed on the previosly seen image above that was sold by Bruce.
The ''Suitable Only For Adults'' censorship rating on Bruce's copy appears not to be a last minute alteration on having the rating being changed. If one one looks closely at the style 'A' daybill image on the above Austtralian pressbook the image of the daybill has a large amount of writing on the book that was altered on the daybill to show the film's title and a few other credits. There also appears under the book image on the bottom section of the poster an unknown hightlighted section. When the Richardson daybill was finalised this apparently unwanted section was covered over with the censorship rating, although not entirely successfully though.
As the Heritage poster wasn't restored it is interesting to compare the two censorship ratings. As these two rare daybill images are the only ones that I can seem to locate, it would be interesting to see another copy to compare.

Re: 1950's First Release Australian Daybills Not Designed By Richardson Studio For Paramount Pictures
Every Day's A Holiday ( original title L'oro Di Napoli ) ( USA title The Gold Of Naples ). ( 1954 )
Three Crooked Men ( 1959 )
Triple Blackmail ( 1955 )
Three Cornered Fate ( 1955 )
\
Lady In The Fog ( 1952 ) ( Released in the U.S.A. as Scotland Yard Inspector ).
Images presented sourced from vavious sources including bruce, John, Trove and IMDB,
Some more obscure film titles for films released in Australia in the 1950's by Paramount Pictures Australia, that possibly may not have had any full colour daybills designed by the Richardson Studios for, with only cheaply produced duotone versions designed instead.
The titles are -
Every Day's A Holiday ( L'oro Di Naples original Italian title ) ( 1954 ). Paramount Films Of Italy. Released in Australia in an edited version.
Three Crooked Men ( 1959 ). Danziger Productions, Paramount British Pictures. There is a possibility that this title may have been designed by Richardson Studio. I base this on the fact that another Danziger Productions / Paramount British Pictures film titled Links Of Justice from 1958 had a Richardson Studio / W.E. Smith colour daybill design produced for its Australian release.
Triple Blackmail ( 1955 ). A compilation film of 3 episodes of the U.K. television series The Vise. Danziger Productions. Paramount British Pictures.
Three Cornered Fate ( 1955 ). A compilation film of 3 television episodes of the U.K. television series The Vise. Danziger Productions. Paramount British Pictures.
Lady In The Fog ( 1952 ). Hammer Film Productions, Exclusive Films. Released in the U.S.A. under the title Scotland Yard Inspector by Lippert Pictures.

Additional backup with the Godzilla one sheet now surfacing, and thus adding to my belief, that Paramount Pictures as previously mentioned didn't produce any Richardson Studio designed full colour daybill versions for a number of films in the 1950's, and in the case of the one sheets a decent full colour version.
Stumbled across this Australian newspaper advertisement placed for a one night only screening in Queanbetan N.S.W. in 1963. The artwork is certainly more impressive than that was produced for the Paramount daybill and the one sheet appearing above.
Some information on this cute Australian duotone daybill. It would certainly appear that Paramount Pictures Australia only had a short term release agreement in Australia, with this being from 1957 to circa 1964. By 1965 and through to at least 1969 Godzilla King Of The Monsters was screened in Australia on double bills with other Regent Films ( RFD ) releases. This would certainly seem to me that the above daybill would have been produced for a circa 1965 Regent Films re-release.
I'm sure I smile everytime I look at this image.
