Silent Era Film Posters Found

A stash of posters was found under the floorboards of a house in Vancouver, BC.  I love reading stories about finds like this!

This article was sent to me by a fellow APF'er ( ) and I wanted to pass it along here.

Thanks for sharing- I also enjoy these types of reads... Would love to know what posters he found!

Go Canada!

Maybe I am misremembering but I thought Dario posted about this find at some point the past?

Seeing as he is located in Vancouver would not be shocked if he was consulted or perhaps even worked on some of these...

Also Vancouver related. This ghost sign on the side of a building, advertising Harold Lloyd's first five reel feature, called Grandma's Boy, from 1922.

This clip is from early 2012; the building was then demolished in March, 2012.

Wow.  "The Hope Diamond Mystery" and "A Million to Burn" are really nice.  

It is interesting to hear about the history of silent films in Vancouver.  I wonder if people are going to start searching for finds like this, by renovating their buildings that still have original floors, walls, etc.

p.s. Here's a neat video of the Hope Diamond, Hope in a Minute:
