Date Sold 10/4/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Stablemates, the 1938 Sam Wood old-man/young-boy horse racing gambling comedy ("Thrills! Heart throbs! Roaring Laughter!"; "You'll cheer and thrill to this exciting story of the turf!"; about an alcoholic ex-veterinarian who bonds with an aspiring jockey, and he not only pulls himself together enough to operate on the boy's beloved horse, but the horse recuperates in time to win the big race at the climax of the movie!) starring Wallace Beery, Mickey Rooney, Arthur Hohl, Margaret Hamilton, and Minor Watson NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the National Screen Service offered 30x40s on almost every movie in the 1930s and 1940s, but VERY few theaters ordered them (surely because they cost many times what a one-sheet cost, due to the heavier paper; we have seen in pressbooks where a one-sheet was ten cents and a 30x40 was $1.50, so surely hardly any theaters ordered them at all!). Very few 30x40s survive from ANY movies from the mid 1940s and earlier, and ones from the 1930s are virtually non-existent. We have only previously auctioned three 30x40s from ANY 1930s movies! Now, we have been consigned a remarkable find of four 30x40s from 1938, and we are currently auctioning them in four separate auctions. So that means we are currently auctioning more 1930s 30x40s at this time than we have in the entire past thirty years, and we might not have any more for years to come! Note that because this poster was printed on a pretty heavy stock, it can't be folded or rolled and must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 32" x 42". Please bear this added expense in mind before bidding on this poster. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S. Condition: very good. The poster has a 2" tear in the left border with two smaller tears above and below it. It has a few smudges and stains around the edges. Otherwise the poster is in generally nice condition.
