Impressive sleuthing Lawrence.

Here's two others with irregular poster trimming. Along Came Jones has a portion of another poster along the left hand side. Journey into Fear has been trimmed to leave a sliver of a bottom border, in this case the printers' name is in the middle of…

Bruce is right, I've noticed on some threads there is no inserting an image, only the image URL option.

I would say all the John Richardson signed daybills that have surfaced would be only known copies. The Harry Davidson Collection Auctions turned up quite a few.

Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman should be added to the list as it does mention it's a horror film.

I know of two daybills surfacing for Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The one below was for sale by a U.S. dealer a few years back.That Paget dance was no doubt the inspiration for:
The Dracula 1 sheet may well be Australian, though I think the 3 sheet would be the U.S. - looks like the Morgan Litho moniker in the bottom right.Day the Earth Stood Still quad - yikes!The Everyones issue for Dec 18 1929 has an image of the High Treason 6 sheet.Added 2 lesser horror titles from 1933, Argentinian 1 sheet for Vampire Bat and scene card for Night of Terror picturing Sally Blane - sister of Loretta Young. Two more horror titles that no daybills seem to exist for.in October 2018 Comment by darolo October 2018

Sven, I think I have Treasure Sierra Madre image, I'll look. In the meantime here's Spellbound.
Here's Pot O Gold 1sheet from around the Robin Hood era with the old VP logo.
Victory Publicity started using the VP logo (the type used on that Robin Hood 3 sheet) in about May 1946 on Warner Brothers, RKO and 20th Fox posters, before then the Warner ones (daybills anyway) simply printed the Victory name at the bottom. The n…White Heat is one of the few 40's crime daybills I haven't had, I have an image of a photocopy though. This poster dates from the 50's however, it was released early 1951.in Where Are These Daybills? Comment by darolo October 2018
Here's 2 of those Frank Tyler/Cinesound ones in full colour.
A great pioneer in this hobby. R.I.P.
I bought the Reel Art book in Sydney in about 1990. Up until then I was only collecting daybills and didn't realise how great the vintage U.S. material was.Lawrence, - I'll look for the catalogue but from pretty good memory there were about 35 lots in the London sale (either Christie's or Sotheby's). There was a 3 sheet for Palmy Days, all the rest were 1 sheets and only 3 as I recall were Australian. …Thank you - And the Australian souvenir program has the same cover art, which I bizarrely obtained 3 days after acquiring this, hidden inside a box of old sheet music and other paper items found at a tip.
Carl Jung had a word for it!Unfortunately Lawrence, nearly all those 1 sheets at that sale in 1998 were U.S. printed. I subsequently bought a few titles which most likely came from that collection. Most of the Pickles ones were resold in London in one sale in 1999. Three Austr…I've never posted here before, but I thought some members might like to see what I would describe as an Australian mini window card (9"x13"). The artwork is by Percy Eagles - Australian Paramount artist of the 20's. This may have been a short lived …
