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…Bruce Hershenson has it right. The use of 1 sheeter, 3 sheeter etc. seems to be unique to Australia + the 1940 U.S. pressbook has the same cover as this Australian one but the release over there had more than one style of 1 sheet and the pressbook w…Here's the link to the GWTW press sheet that shows the posters.
https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/go…That GWTW 1 sheet was owned by the late Bill Collins, someone (probably much later) put 1944 on it, working it out from the date at the top, obviously no cinema would need to put the year of screening. I noticed the same auction that had this poster…Congratulations, both figures are very impressive and at the top end more than what S2 Prints have sold for.Just recently I Googled Mondo and Drafthouse to find out what these things were. Perhaps they might be the Bitcoin of poster collecting, the prices at least have a similar meteoric rise. I mostly appreciate daybills and litho posters from a certain …Lawrence - Here is a page from the Paramount 1927 announcement book with a double page art by George Lawrence. His initialed signature is on the right hand side.in Hondo's This And That Comment by darolo December 2020
Here's a snippet to add to the George Lawrence resume, reproduced from the Paramount 1927 book, which included art by Lawrence and Percy Eagles.
Hard Day's Night large French - likely others out there but none of the big guns seem to have sold one yet. Could be that French Beatles fans snaffled them all. And the number of folds these French posters have is ridiculous, many of them might have…Even though there is a lot of Australian Kong material there, it is likely the two 6 sheets are U.S. I have one 6 sheet that was used in Australia around this time and it was printed by Morgan Litho.
Here is a U.S. 6 sheet that was up for auct…More proof that King Kong is the no.1 most spectacular movie poster campaign in history, and not just in the U.S.Two King Kong daybills - Unbelievable!!Movie poster collecting is also much more diverse, I would say any comic any collector would desire Superman no 1 or X-Men no 1 but those who want a first printing Star Wars or the Thing probably don't give a hoot for a Bette Davis poster at any pri…Beautiful daybill that. Long ago I had the one sheet, another Melbourne collector has it now.
