Since we have some new members who may not have seen it, and since it's iconic, and dare I say celestial beauty knows no bounds, a repost, of a repost.

I know it will be downhill from here, but at some stage all others need to be trumped.

And so...

I give you...

Original,

Rare as hell, THE ONLY EXAMPLE KNOWN.

UNRESTORED....

FRANKENSTEIN AUSTRALIAN DAYBILL.

.......

Feel free to bow, cheer, applaud, or even weep with joy.

Still better than any Star Wars poster.

They sure don't make them like they used to.
What a classic.

Is that for sale Ari, I may purchase if it's in my price range...

Ari · « **Reply #206 on:** February 24, 2013, 03:58:54 AM »

I don't think so, or rather, I think it's probably worth more to me that what anyone would pay for it.
I wouldn't be offended by an offer, if someone isn't offended by a no, but we both may be surprised.
I wouldn't know how to put a price tag on it, and what I paid is next to nothing.

if Ari refuses anyone's offer, all you have to do is show it to your 7 year-old nephew and he'll bang out a copy for free

No way, they would have to be at least 8.

A lobby card and insert for the lost sound film, The Cat Creeps (1930). The movie is in the crime/mystery genre but the material looks good here, too:

Unbelievable, Jeff. LOVE that poster so much!

erik1925 · « **Reply #215 on:** February 27, 2013, 04:11:10 PM »

Brian,

I agree. Love the art on this, too.

And like its US counterpart, this must also be the advance. With nothing more than the title and production company.

CSM · « **Reply #216 on:** February 27, 2013, 04:56:28 PM »

Definitely one of my favourite poster images ever

110x75 · « **Reply #217 on:** February 27, 2013, 09:36:12 PM »

Got this one today. First release in the 70's Bride of Frankenstein from Finland.
Image and size are ok. Printed on glossy paper, so not really sure if it's an original or a reproduction.

Mirosae · « **Reply #218 on:** February 27, 2013, 09:51:23 PM »

I like it a lot Matias! Good stuff

Looking good! Some great imagery on that, Matias, with the statue of the Grim Reaper featured in the shot, too.

I mentioned the author of that book just yesterday in the history of teh hobby thread

Quote from: MoviePosterBid.com on March 08, 2013, 09:44:11 PM

Matt, I've been collecting since the early sixties (comic books)
my first poster buy was 2 Universal 6 sheets, including Invisible Man's Revenge, for $20 from Dick Bojarski who wrote a book on Karloff. that would be 1967 or 68.
