I don't collect them, although I do find the more obscure accessories fascinating.
Probably have 20 or 30 blocks & they could be used to reproduce the original ads, which is pretty cool.

The film companies hired them to exhibitors for advertising in local newspapers.
They are usually pictured on the press sheets rather than the posters.

Out of all the 1936 Australian films, White Death didn't seem to get much publicity compared to the others. The only clippings I found (now all…

I would have thought earlier from the abbreviated text, but perhaps they weren't consistent. What is your source?
Apparently Associated British Pathe liked chickens so much they used one for their logo!

Plus I didn't know to multiply / divide first.

I'm no maths genius, but with all the supplied answers being even, surely you couldn't have an odd number as the final outcome??

Fresh vintage lot.

I can still remember seeing Stir Crazy when it came out at the cinema. Hard to forget Grossberger (Terror in Wanderers), even after all this time.
Not sure if The Producers ever screened in Aust.

Last parcel I…

Similar to daybill image, Matt.Paul might like this UK pressbook for Miranda. Huge size.

Will upload Invisible Ray, Things to Come & Mark of Vampire next time have camera out.

Picked up a load of clippings from 1936 covering just about every film shown in Sydney that year.
Interesting censor advice f…

Different copies. A little birdy told me you sneakily picked one up off ebay, plus the one currently being auctioned brings the total closer to 15. Obviously there must be others I don't know about, so realistically we must be at … -
