I wish my "dumb" questions could be answered too.. like the ink..
Well ink sits on top of some paper types and absorbs in others. The 2 one sheets should not have any raised inks and should be matte in appearance (no shiny paper or ink).
I am not an expert in long daybills - so I'll reserve that opinion to someone else.
The fact that you can feel the ink on the daybill may mean that the image was printed using a giclee style or IRIS printer (Basically a pigment based ink jet) which will raise some of the inks. It provides a much more color acurate print.

Thank you! I can also see the layers of ink.. like the lighter colors are matte and the darker it goes the higher the ink sits and the more sheen it has.. is this telling to type of printing process?

These look all wrong to me. Cut up posters, poorly backed, likely varnished, found under a floor?
It sounds like someone will pursue these, and it may be a giant wild good chase.
But I would not say there is ZERO chance they are original.
Maybe blowups of pictures from catalogs?
Definitely weird!

I personally think they were scanned on a copy machine bc of the detail and that dark folded corner that was a rip in the original and you can tell by the lighting it was folded up and not caught by the scanner.
I think the consensus is that these are not likely originals. Although, I find them unique is a “museum section of attempted fakes” kind of thing. If you end up wanting to toss them, I would be interested in documenting them with better photographs/observations etc. and returning them back to you.
These 2 Flash Gordon's are both photocopies - first generation. But when I was getting copies of rare daybills years ago, often they would be copies of copies of copies etc.

Here it is! Mine is copied from the same poster. It has the same tear mark on the right side and the same fade discoloration running through the middle!
So new question.. does anyone want to document it before letting this guy use it for garage wallpaper lol
I do believe the one I have was an copy from the original or not far off from it, the detail in it is very precise. It's actually beautiful, it's now on my bucket list to see an original in person from this time period.
A question that i would like to know the answer for is that apart from Flash Gordon's Trip To Mars, The Shadow and Frankenstein posters are there any other different film titles in the haul and are any of them Australian designs? Also of the three poster images you displayed are there multiple copies of them?

This one here seems to show where the printing of the original border stops and the paper or whatever it is printed on starts...
This is an extremely weird and sketchy find. They aren’t even that good of a fake.

Another different image originally displayed on the Republic Serials forum thread by Chris ( borrowed image ) in June 2019.
Agree, and how about I throw in that there are multiple copies of the following three different poster designs in existence.
