And he just rolls along in the Cinemastermobile raking in his Cinemasterdough on $555 Pretty Womans...

At some point we have to extend some small measure of respect

One can only imagine what the original Chantrell would sell for today -- if it hadn't been destroyed to make the later double bill poster!

the listing says "It was sent to New York and the restoration work was done by highly regarded Studio C, now JM Restoration"

JM Restoration is Jaime Mendez NOT Studio C

Yes, I saw this yesterday and did a comparison.  It's very similar but the building details are missing.  Is this a fake or some kind of jumbo lobby card (14"x22") or just heavily restored?

JM Restoration is Jaime Mendez NOT Studio C

And neither Studio C nor JM Restoration (Jaime Mendez) are located IN New York, anyhow. Both are in southern Calif.

That being said, I wonder who "actually" did this restoration?

Red flags lurk here, methinks. pcorn

Several things.... The odd choice of the wording "insert"... 14 x 22 would be an untrimmed window card...roughly 14 x 17 with the top imprint trimmed off...Diane at studio c would have (most likely) advised adding the blank white imprint area during restoration....there is no RKO information in the bottom like other 1933 RKO window cards....it doesn't look like a trimmed section of an insert with a lot of restoration..all in all way too many red flags

On a side note...I have early RKO jumbo lobby cards and I don't think I have ever heard or seen any jumbo lobby cards for a 1933 RKO film....did King Kong have a jumbo lobby card set?...I have seen quite a few 14 x 17 JLC's  from 1929-1931 also 1935 and after...but not a 1933 jumbo from RKO

Mystifying - seller should probably send it to John Davis for the extra level of authenticity...

Last time I talked to Professor Powers, he told me he was working on a King Kong resto.  So, its probably legit.

Because the only info printed on the lower left margin is "Country of Origin USA" and with NO RKO wording or logo, anywhere, I wondered if this could have been a piece that was produced much later, using the upper artwork from the original insert and it being revamped/reworked to the WC size, omitting the images from the lower half, hence the simpler, blue background, in that lower section.

What is odd, tho, and what caught my eye, is that the lettering of the actor's names, Cooper's name and Schoedsack's name have all been redone (redrawn, if you will), on the mystery piece. Take a look. Even the name Merian, looks to be slightly smaller on the ebay piece. And the spelling of Schoedsack on the ebay version almost appears to have been spelled SchoeOsack, so someone was a little lax in making the capital letter "D" (as compared to the insert).

Question is: why was all the lettering redone?
