Really cool piece, Vick. And I'm a buckeye guy, originally, too. :)
Did Mann sign that poster anywhere?
He did not, but I bought it 3 years ago after just missing out on another almost identical that had the signature. The seller said he had sold 4 or 5, some were signed and some not, but clearly all more or less identical. I'll take decent pics tomorrow, I believe its all spot on and definitely an aged piece. I remember almost tearing right through it when I got it thinking it was outside kraft paper wrapping...
how come all the good stuff comes from/ends up in Ohio?
As far as yur question... i don't think all the good stuff comes from there... far from it.... LOLOLI don't know it seems I've bought a disproportionate number of posters from Ohio over the years...maybe its just my perception. Aren't the american pickers guys also based in Ohio?

In fact Most of it started in Ohio. Morgan, A.B.See, Hennegan were all in Ohio in the early days of silent cinema (the other big area was NY). A.B did it nearly all for the 10 main studios in the 20s and then the Morgan Litho in the 30s (with other 2 US companies) produced nearly every piece of paper we know today ; a tradition that went on from the 40s to this day!!
So.. clearly..the Ohio community has a good reason (and chance) to get hold of beautiful paper..it runs in their veins lol. Wonder how many grand dads and grand mothers might have been involved in that industry....
:P
And just in time for Halloween...

Hi Rosa, very nice blue and pink poster...is it a Quad?
It looks like Paul Newman is puckering up reading for a kiss

Rosa, you either place it in a non-sun-lighted room or stop drinking all day long. ;)
Or did they already print holofoil posters back in 1958?

Pondered if this should be here; It looks blue in the morning, at times pink in the afternoon, probably purple at night.. so after what it seemed a LONG HOT SUMMER... I decided to leave it here in such a good company

Nice. thumbup thumbup
Yeah, it seems that the area in the center is a light purple, and the beautious blues and pinks kinda give it an overall purple glow. thumbsup.gif
Very nice, and for such a classic movie. That must be almost like a unicorn, to find unfolded and in that condition. Was it an auction house find, or something similar, if you don't mind me asking? In any case, congrats. cool1
Matias, ni idea de lo que hololololofuil es (lol).. pero ya me he enterado, gracias a ti y claro a San Google. :P
Does a purple space suit splash of purple count? Too bad, Just want to show a 6F (55" x 117"), hehe
A 6F:

Hi Jeff, yes on eBay. I had it on my watchlist for about a year, then bit the bullet and splurged something like 10 Euro on it to buy it!
It was on eBay.it so maybe not many people were looking back then and I think the photo in the ad was not great
this is turning out to be one good looking thread, despite our collective "WTF" when it first appeared ... ;D ;D ;)
