Hmm...like Ted, I coulda swore I saw some pics of Forry with original material. I guess it's possible they were re-releases and I didn't know any better. Or a pic of him with someone else's collection?

brude · « **Reply #126 on:** July 31, 2014, 03:41:25 AM »

Thanks for that, Anthony... I'm too young to be senile.

If memory serves me correctly, they were pics of him posing with two different Phantom one sheets and the caption said something to the effect that these were just two of the original six different posters that Forry owned from the film's original release.

I've been extremely busy this week, but I am still trying to scour the net to see if anyone has uploaded these pics.
I am sure that they exist somewhere.

I should have more time later tonight.

Ted, I've been through about 30 issues of FM and the only Phantom poster one so far was Forry with the 43 Phantom poster, I've a fair few more to go through in that early section....I'll see if I get time myself later...

Forry never owned any 1925 POTO one sheets that I know of

Maybe he had a picture with a Realart Phantom poster and a Hammer Phantom and it said two of the six original Phantom posters he owns...

Forry didn't have any 1925 Phantom posters, that comes not only straight from Forry's mouth, but long-time friends of his like Ron Borst and Jerry Weist (whose home was one of the stops on his famous cross-country tour).

I think Paul has a complete run and if anyone can find it, he can.
I've searched the net and come up empty-handed.

And I don't believe it was the Claude Rains (or Herbert Lom versions) because at the time I was new to collecting posters (I was a kid) and when I saw the pics and read the captions, I was astounded that they actually printed six different one-sheets for just one movie.

That was this budding young movie poster collector's first... ahem... knowledge of multiples...
I remember that moment.... or, one just like it...

In the meantime, thanks for humoring me and let the hunt continue.

Yeah, we're not there quite yet. Good luck!

I'm not sure if it was Phantom material, it might've been. I just thought he had something Universal from the 20's or 30's.

Hey Ted, still can't find the one you mention, gone through about 60 issues now, it's taking time as I have to un-bag them..

Anyhoo, here's that same pic again with the 43 Phantom, and another pic that might interest us poster fellows.

And I found this while looking through, someone back in the 70's had enough money to bind all his copies
of FM. A Comic shop was selling them all off, so he must have.....gown-up, or needed the money! If I
remember right it was the set up to the early hundreds. I bought this one as it had two issues of the 3 in it
I didn't have; And no I never broke the set up, 5 or 6 Volumes had been sold already..

brude · « **Reply #133 on:** August 02, 2014, 10:28:10 AM »

Wow, I've not seen those pics in years.
What a blast from the past.
Don't knock yourself out on this while on vacation.
Crowzilla's the only one in a rush.

paul waines · « **Reply #134 on:** August 02, 2014, 10:34:05 AM »

I'm actually quite enjoying it Ted, it's amazing how many pics and articles one forgets about, these haven't been out the bags in over 20 odd years...

Very cool Paul. Keep mining that gold.

Paul, I think next week we will make some inroads for your site - people need to see your collection!

I am ( well A fellow Yvonne knows ) well on the way to getting the site up and running, but I need to get my photography set up, up and working.(Garage is a mess right now)

I've had some great advice from Adam, and I've bought some good bits of Kit with Harry's help, and the fellow is just waiting my nod, but all I have is my quickly
taken rubbish photos I've used on here... may have to use them for now and change those as I go.

It will take a few years to photograph it all, but I'll have a fair few bits on well before the years out.

Watch this space.

Even back then all the kid could find were beat-up Realart posters (and I see Forry had his Realart House of Dracula hanging up).

lynaron · « **Reply #144 on:** August 03, 2014, 03:35:45 AM »

Heck, I'll take beat up Realarts anytime.

Me too. Just commenting that even in the 60s it was tough to find Universal originals.

Except of course that the Dracula isn't a picture of the poster. Compare to the one-sheet Heritage sold and you can see subtle differences.
