Date Sold 10/19/2010Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1940s) Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) a stock poster sent to theaters that regularly showed Hopalong Cassidy movies. The theater could put up the poster each time they showed a Hopalong Cassidy movie, and thus use the same poster over and over! The posters would often have a blank area where the title could either be written in, overprinted, or a snipe could be pasted on. Note that Western Classics distributed these movies in both 1946 and 1947, with different stock posters for each year. A year later, these same Hopalong Cassidy movies were again distributed to theaters, this time under the Masterpiece Productions distributor logo. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Masterpiece for use by theaters showing re-releases of their 1940s William Boyd movies in the 1940s. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the bottom center. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area. This poster has a printed snipe attached to the blank area. Condition: good. There is a title snipe across the bottom title area. There is separation and tattering along the top of the vertical fold that has been repaired with tape from the back and there is some tattering and small paper loss around the edges of the poster.
