Looks like printing details at the left bottom of the Ben Hur daybill, assuming it is a daybill.

Assuming it's theirs, I wonder how much that 6 sheet set the Archive back? I know they once purchased a Spanish Jedda on eBay for U.S. $1100, so they do splash the taxpayer's money occasionally.

The image of Terror By Night might be on one roll of film not yet developed. The daybill had a very black background and the same art as the poster pictured in this thread.

I have a photo of Terror By Night somewhere, I had one about 25 years ago, wish I still had it. I have 7 of the daybills, Sherlock Holmes Faces Death is the one I would love to see/own.

I don't have a copy close to hand but doesn't the NFSA Australian film poster book have the Orphan 1 sheet in it?
-
It might be the only image showing what an actual Dracula 3 sheet looks like - I don't think any survive. Pretty sure that's the Morgan Litho. logo at the bottom right. Sometimes the press book poster images differed slightly to the printed version.

I once had this 1 sheet circa late 40's. It went to the State Library of Victoria, they were quite happy to get it.

The 2 Bounty posters are incredible. Here's another great cricket daybill, artwork by Dempsey.

Christie's South Kensington circa 2001-2002.

I remember in the mid 90's there was talk of Keith Hutchinson of the Stars shop in Sydney who had 2 Frankenstein daybills and rumour was it one went to someone from Metallica - Kirk Hammett wasn't named but obviously it would've been him.

Here's a press sheet image of the King of the Jungle 3 sheet as well as the likely Australian 1 sheet. No printers names are listed.

I wonder who printed them?

I have the press sheets for each of those titles. The 3 sheets are pictured and are pretty much the same as these ones here, though those in the press sheets may well be the U.S. ones and these surviving are fairly good interpretations of them. The …

Never seen that one before. I have one of those slim daybills for Gaslight, not sure if released here in 44 or 45.

Here's another one for the files - long daybill for Sleepers West.

Aussie 1 sheet for The Scarlet Claw and like the daybill has an image of Gale Sondergaard on it, and who wasn't in this movie - was in Spider Woman though.

Congratulations and contact Guinness Book of Records. Has to be the cheapest and tattiest film poster art ever.

From the Paramount press sheet book for 1930, daybills with General Exhibition printed at the top and from 1934, two with the Not Suitable.. circle.
Mark - Funny you should say that, a friend bought some movie paper lots from the Bill Collins Auction including probably the press sheets you refer to. I bought 2 volumes from him that were issued by Paramount, about 90 press sheets - though I'd des…The earliest ones I have are from 1930, but locally done press sheets certainly existed from as early as 1925, and most likely earlier. I no longer have them but I had several Paramount Richard Dix ones from that date. The Paramount ones usually pic…Pic of the daybill for S.H. in Washington, the borders were trimmed but would've been printed by Marchant, perhaps the only one in the series they did.
No one has to buy posters or any collectible (some addicts will disagree) - collecting is a luxury. Even if posters were involved, this will all fall apart when collectors will think something is overpriced and a lot of those that are at risk of bei…Do you know anyone who purchased any of the posters from the Pickles auction? There were a couple of western ones that I have been waiting for them to reappear again but they never have, especially The Rainbow Trail.I never saw the Thunderbolt daybill, as I didn't attend the auction and the catalogue was just a printed listing. I know from someone else attending that the daybill was much like the Story of the Kelly Gang poster. At the same auction was a daybill…It's amazing that three different posters for this film survive. The only other early one like these I know of is for the bushranger film Thunderbolt (1910), a daybill of which sold at a People's Paraphernalia auction 30 years ago for about $800.Horizontal One Sheet perhaps?Over the Moon UK and US posters - what a difference. The US poster is one of the most ordinary one sheets of the 30's. Merle Oberon being United Artists leading female star at the time, couldn't have been impressed with that effort.Yes, very good indeed. It's fortunate that so many Australian posters in the 20's and 30's came with a signature, which wasn't the case in the U.S. where anonymity was the rule. Wynne Davies name appears on many daybills in the 1920's, but as far as…Frankenstein meets the Wolfman daybill - This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available (eBay).
I received an email from the idiot seller boasting that this was his second copy hence the reason for sale. So essent…
