(Quote) The interesting thing about this one is that someone must have picked up the error before the printing process and they made a crude attempt to fix it. The same correction appears on all of the daybills I have seen and it has not been…

There is an interesting error on this US printed International lobby card and it seems to be just confined to this set of cards. Another set of un numbered cards was also printed with the correct spelling but no "Litho in USA" at the bottom. I'm sur…

I recently acquired this daybill which I have never seen before

Thanks for posting the image of Hound of the Baskervilles. Very impressive 3 sheet.
-
(Quote) Thanks Bruce. Australian posters have always been difficult to date but the research that Lawrence has done has been exceptional.
-
(Quote) It is indeed strange that the second version is so rare. You would think that they might have printed the two daybills in equal quantities.

(Quote) Two different daybills were printed for the original release of The Overlanders, This is confirmed in the Press Book ....

(Quote) Yes and they're all pretty bad!
-
I am definitely interested
-
(Quote) Fantastic research Lawrence
... and just to be pedantic about the title, US posters used the title "Jedda the Uncivilized" with a "Z" instead of an "S". Obviously, they changed the spelling of the word to the American version of … -
(Quote) Yes, it has been on eBay for a long time and is pretty much worthless.
-
(Quote) The poster on the right is misrepresented on eBay - clearly not an original daybill but some sort of framed repro measuring approx 6" x 14"

No problem Lawrence. I think it is always better for forums to request everyone to use their actual names rather than an anonymous id. When this forum was first started there was a rule that dealers had to use their Christian name as their username …

I am scanning and cataloguing as many press sheets as I can but I have recently purchased some massive collections of movie posters that will take all my time for the forseeable future. I will have to put the press book project on hold for the time …

(Quote) Just for clarification, Movieman1962 is not me.
-
(Quote) Not sure what you mean by the "vested interests" comment. I simply contacted the owner of the poster to ask whether it was a long daybill or not because I thought it might help the dicussion. The owner of the poster says it is indeed …

(Quote) I'm afraid you might be right! Inflation continues to skyrocket and it will only get worse.

(Quote) I sold one 25 years ago for $35.00. Just goes to show that movie posters can be a great investment!
-
(Quote) I agree with Mark about Congorilla. I don't see any evidence that it is a daybill. Does anyone know where the image came from that described as being a daybill?
-
I have spoken to the owner of the poster and he confirmed that it is indeed a long daybill. Printer is Simmons Litho Sydney and the artist is Powis. It came from a collection of other long daybills, all stuck to board and all with the same writing o…

I might be able to help with more info about it. I will check and get back with an answer.
-
I agree and would certainly recommend UPS over USPS.

(Quote) I agree with you Bruce. People offer me collections fairly regularly and many expect to get retail prices without doing any work at all. Sometimes it is hard to even get them to provide a list of what they have, let alone condition de…

(Quote) I actually think it is great that many Australian posters go to overseas buyers. There are a number of collectors outside Australia who have significant collections of Australian posters and it is good that there is an appreciation of…

The problem with allowing editing of old posts is that there could be lots of later responses based on the original comment. If that is edited the responses lose context.
-
Possibly Arnaldo Putzu but very hard to tell from your image

(Quote) There is also a Black and White version
-
(Quote) No it doesn't help much although it does refer to Warner Brothers as a Warner Communications Company rather than the Kinney reference. We may have reached a dead end where we can only guess the release date for the yellow version but it wo…
