Title: Rare, but not valuable
Post by: jayn_j on April 24, 2012, 07:02:55 PM: We were discussing rarity vs value in the ultra rare thread, and a few people asked that I post this lobby set. I used it as an example of something that was rare, but probably wasn't worth a lot. Use this thread to post your own stuff that is one of a kind, but which doesn't have a lot of value.

The lobbies are a set of 6 cards from a 1919 silent titled "Why Smith left Home". Note that the title card has hand applied glitter around the letters. Each card is hand colored in pastels and has a caption.

Title Card. Note the hand applied glitter

Post by: Bruce on April 24, 2012, 07:52:54 PM: Labor was dirt cheap back then. The handcoloring and glitter were put on at the Exchanges by poor immigrants working for pennies an hour.

No two cards are the same, and many have fairly sloppy coloring.

Hmmm, beyond Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, keaton, and possibly Pickford, Fairbanks and Barrymore, does anyone from the silent era have a name that has endured?

A good example is the poster in my avatar. The actor pictured is Richard Dix. The man made 100 films, mostly as the lead spanning a period from 1917 to 1947. He was one of the few that made the transition from silents to talkies and was huge in the '30s. However, I bet the value in my poster is more because it is a well preserved stone litho with a good image than it is because Richard Dix is on it. BTW, AFAIK it is also an only known copy.

Post by: paul waines on April 25, 2012, 12:26:47 PM: I picked up quite a lot of these Silver Bromide Poster Proofs. They came from Berry's printers in the U.K. They were a photographic record of posters they had done. Such a shame they were only Black and White, but it's a great record of what was, as these posters no longer exist. I paid peanuts for them, and guess they are worth less than that, but as a window of what had been they are invaluable....

A small selection....

I agree. However, it terms of valuable posters from the era, most of the ones we could mention would be for those films that survived:

Birth of a nation, The Gold Rush, Ben Hur, The General, Phantom of the Opera, etc.

The only lost film I can think of where the poster gets major attention (and sells high) is London After Midnight. Can anyone think of others?

Jay (and Paul), wouldn't you think that posters from that era (whether they be lost films or not) that included actors that are well known, even today, would still command a decent price? Chaney comes to mind, as he has is collected across several genres (silent, early horror, for his makeups), Pickford, Fairbanks, Chaplin (much of who's poster material comes to light now and then), Griffith films, Murnau?

LAM has certainly been the grail of lost films. One of Chaney's earlier films, called A BLIND BARGAIN (1922) is also lost. I havent found a sales record for it's OS. Chances are, it would go for less, as it was pre-Hunchback and Phantom. But, being Chaney, it would still have tremendous appeal. Chaney also played a dual role in this film, as well:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/Blindbargain.jpg)

But I think it is also true that for lost films, a poster may be the only remaining visual record (aside from possible script or "office" type material) that has survived -- so valuable or not, it is important that these are preserved and conserved, if necessary.

Yes, Paul, and that makes them even more invaluable, from that perspective.
Title: Re: Rare, but not valuable
Post by: Bruce on April 25, 2012, 01:51:30 PM: That is why I endlessly buy silent pressbooks. They have most of the poster images from each campaign. Few others than me find them worth collecting, so the price is almost always reasonable.

I have been sharing one of my pressbooks (silent and sound) a week with my e-mail club. See them at http://www.emovieposter.com/coolitem_archive.php (http://www.emovieposter.com/coolitem_archive.php)

In around 25,000 more weeks I will have shared them all!

Post by: erik1925 on April 19, 2014, 06:22:10 PM: I picked this up last summer from a small advertised auction in the midwest. It's an unfolded US HS for the Merle Oberon film, Beloved Enemy (1936). When trying to find comparables on this style, the only thing I found was that HA had auctioned it 3 times. Thing is, all three auctions were for this same, identical copy (the same water staining & minor paper loss, in the lower right corner, was the identifier).

I've not seen it on ebay and emovie has also not sold one before. So is is more rare? Maybe. It isn't something I can retire on. But I've always had a soft spot for Merle Oberon, ever since seeing her in Wuthering Heights (1939), in a high school English class, when we screened the film, after reading the book. ;)

Hey Randy-

I did get my copy off the bay, but it was back in 2013.

So another popped up more recently?

Post by: paul waines on April 17, 2016, 03:46:08 AM: Bought these last month. They are Rare as they are the only ones. They were used in the printing process of the Quad poster Thunderbirds are go. Each one is for a different colour as indicated on them. As for value...I most likely paid too much for them, but who would want them other than me.. These are quite large at 29"x21" much bigger than the other ones I have..

Post by: erik1925 on April 17, 2016, 12:46:36 PM: Very nice to have those separations for the quad, Paul. How did you happen to come across them? A random listing? Or did someone tell you about them?

An unique and interesting addition to your collection, no doubt. :D
Title: Re: Rare, but not valuable
Post by: paul waines on April 17, 2016, 06:55:49 PM: Oddly A dealer was asking if I still had my spare Quad for sale as he had them, and wanted to add the Quad to them. I had sold it but asked him if he wanted to sell them, and he said Yes, for a price... So....

Yes quite a unique item to add to the poster, I'm very pleased with them.

Post by: erik1925 on May 09, 2016, 04:38:33 PM: US OS for the UK film, Sunset In Vienna (1937), but released in the US as Suicide Legion in 1940.

I've not come across another copy that has been offered or sold, so figured it would be a good fit to this thread.

Hmmm, beyond Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, keaton, and possibly Pickford, Fairbanks and Barrymore, does anyone from the silent era have a name that has endured?

A good example is the poster in my avatar. The actor pictured is Richard Dix. The man made 100 films, mostly as the lead spanning a period from 1917 to 1947. He was one of the few that made the transition from silents to talkies and was huge in the '30s. However, I bet the value in my poster is more because it is a well preserved stone litho with a good image than it is because Richard Dix is on it. BTW, AFAIK it is also an only known copy.

It looks like a really a beautiful poster, Jay. Could you post a larger image of it? prayer.gif It would be great to see your avatar image poster up close & in more detail.

Interesting to see that the poster says "Adults over 16 should be accompanied by children" - what so they won't let in a 21 year old by himself. Was that a thing in the UK for movies targeted at a younger audience during that time era?

Guess you never worked in standards development. The only word that counts in a standard is SHALL.
The phrase "It is highly recommended that the widget should..." translates to the folks using the standard as "I don't gotta do this, AND I WON'T".
