Auction History Result 3h0003 LOT OF 5 STANDEES 1950s Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, Ray Milland, Fred MacMurray & more! Date Sold 11/27/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 5 standees (each measures 33" x 60"). Note that the items in this lot are from the 1940s to the 1950s. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Note that this is the VERY LAST groups of mostly 1950s standees that we were consigned (we have auctioned the rest of them in previous auctions, the best ones individually and the rest in bulk lots). Just about every one of them was "die-cut", meaning that they were cut around the edges to the shape of the image. Around eight years ago we were consigned around 100 similar standees to these, and we auctioned the better titles individually and the lesser titles in bulk lots. Those came from a theater owner who received them when he showed the movies! Most of these were one of each title, and it is quite likely that very few others survive other than the ones from this "find". Most of these were stored in a basement and many are quite musty and have other condition issues. These are unlike later standees. They were created directly on to corrugated cardboard and each had two circular pieces of cardboard attached to the back of the standee that once had a string between them (this is how the standees were originally made). On some of these, the circular cardboards or strings are no longer present, pretty usual for standees of this age. We are guessing that you were supposed to lean the standee against a pole and tie the strings from the circles around the pole, but that is just a guess! Please look closely at our super-sized images to get a sense of the condition of these. Of course they can be restored, or left as they are, but bear this in mind before bidding. Also, note these standees need to be sent in a very large flat package that measures approximately 34" x 34", which will be expensive in the U.S. and prohibitively expensive outside the U.S., so also bear this in mind before bidding. Condition: fair to good. As noted above, these were poorly stored and are musty, with smudges, scuffs and stains scattered throughout and some surface and border wear. Obviously one would prefer to find these in better condition, but they are likely mostly one of a kind, so please do not bid unless you can accept their defects or are willing to have them restored.
