Actually Greg hasn't been dealing in movie posters for that long. He was primarily an antique furniture dealer but saw the value in movie posters and started buying up on ebay and other places. Obviously, very astute as a buyer and he has built up a…

I have just picked up a truly amazing collection of Australian and International movie posters mainly 1920s - 50s. It is without doubt one of the finest single collections ever assembled in Australia. Many of the Australian posters have not been see…

I've got all but the one behind the chair

I only heard about it a couple of years after the event. There were a few auctions like that - not widely publicised.

Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks Vesna. I'm sure you can guess
At the other end of the scale, I purchased a big lot from Scammels in Adela… -
That's cheap compared to the quote I received to ship some daybills from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. The auction house don't send anything themselves but they recommend Pack and Send. I was given a quote of AUD$331.03 to send the posters. It was ch…

(Quote) Actually, I did point that out in my earlier post .......... "The images seem to have been copied directly from the original Australian one sheet with the censorship logo mistakenly added."

If it is the earliest one sheet that has been seen, is there a possibility that it could be the original first release? The lack of printers details and crappy images would make you wonder about that but it is extraordinary that no o… -
The problem with the one on the right is the censorship which would normally indicate pre 1971. However, at the bottom of the poster it clearly says that the film was distributed by United International Pictures which was only founded in 1980. I thi…

Yes, the artwork is indeed inferior but it does seem to be the earliest one sheet that has been seen for FRWL.
-
Lawrence, have you ever seen an earlier FRWL one sheet than the two that are pictured in this thread?
-
(Quote) So, just to be clear, this one is the same printing and same year of release as the one pictured in the first post - probably a second printing.
-
I agree with you Lawrence. The strange thing is no one seems to have seen an original FRWL one sheet.
-
It has to be pre 1971 but lets hear what Lawrence thinks about it.
-
(Quote) Sorry, not sure what you mean. The two one sheets that are pictured, one with blue text and one with black text would both have been printed at the same time. I don't think one came before the other.
-
Well, I don't think that one is any more original than the one I have!
-
Do you have an image of the original, David?

"Autographs" that are sold without any sort of provenance have very little value. If you sell something like this, the buyer will be hoping the signature is genuine but will never know for sure and I don't think anyone can honestly attempt to a…(Quote) Me too!
Did he pay through paypal? Who decided in his favour?(Quote)
Yes, it is always a exciting when these collections come up. There are many more out there just waiting to be found!Some great looking posters David and nicely photographed too!
I have a couple of examples of "Lawrence" art in trade ads but don't have any information on who he/she is.
Its probably worth giving Paypal a call. I have found them very helpful in the past.I had something similar happen. I sent a package to a customer in Sydney. He contacted me six weeks after I had sent it to say he hadn't received it. Australia Post said they delivered it a couple of days after I sent it. Turns out the customer had …The description says .....
"Use zoom feature for a closer look to see any markings or damage."
Not much help there!!It is strange that original release posters are so scarce for many Australian films. This is an original release herald for Let George Do It! Art by Frank Tyler.in Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films Comment by John October 2016
There are actually six copies available on the site David listed.
