nope.. Dale opened that place in the 1960s
it was North of the city in the suburbs. I'd been there a number of times, but it's so long ago & I never visited the city except to see Dale, so I don't know the layout.
it only closed in the early 90s

Doesn't ring a bell, but I left town in the mid-70s, and was in the military from 69-72.  Good Old Days sounds like something that would have emerged in the 80s.

He was ahead of his time

Well, I'll be damned.  His shop was about a mile south of my parent's photography studio.  It was also a block north of my favorite old movie palace, the Tower Theater.  The tower closed in the late '60s so that could very well be where he got the paintings from.

That would have been the sort of shop I would have dropped in to, but I have no memory.  The Milwaukee Public Museum does though.  They have a dozen photos of him and his shop here: http://content.mpl.org/cdm/search/collection/HstoricPho/searchterm/Dale!good%20old%20days%20%28milwaukee,%20wis.%29/field/all!subjec/mode/any!all/conn/and!and/cosuppress/

and the fellow in the photo is Dale.

but no, the paintings didn't come from that theatre, or if they did, not directly to Dale.

the paintings were bought by a flea market dealer and pieced out to others. Dale bought some, I know other guys that also bought some

There are a couple around 220km further away as well. At least the price is starting to come down. It was $500 and BIN $1000

Oh good someone messaged the seller, more of reasonable price now.

There's another one 20km away....up to 5 now and we haven't left the State of Victoria.

Matt, yep... 'twas me. His comment about "prove me wrong" was my inspiration.

And he actually appreciated the info, knowing there was another -- and just around the corner, too.
That's when he re-set his prices.

Looks like he's actually selling it this time:

Wish there were more pics of the interior

I bet the 2/3 Where Danger Lives will get pulled before it closes...

Yes, I believe this is a fake sale. Nevertheless, I intend to bid a reasonable amount, so I've "outed" a poster against my own interest.

[paul waines]

There's a first for everything...

I may bid myself.

You're still left with only 2/3 of a poster.  Should you win (and the sale actually goes through) what will you do about the missing 1/3?  A high quality print?

[paul waines]

Some of these part posters are good enough as is Chris, I have a few myself.

This folded Jaws OS was posted to MOPO several days ago by the seller, himself (so has already been dispersed to MANY poster collectors' eyes).

I wonder if the lower right corner nick/chip will also nick its final bid price?

I wouldn't buy it in this condition.  Too many mint copies floating around.

In my mind, this is perfect condition.  Just enough weathering and pinholes to show it was a legitimate theatrical display, but in very presentable position.  A poster that hasn't been displayed is no different than a repro in my mind.
