Date Sold 1/26/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded One-Sheet Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Pepper Pot Novelty, the 1931 stock poster ("Novelties, Music, Girls"; "A Vitaphone short subject") for Warner Brothers/Vitaphone musical song-and-dance short subjects. Warner Bros. made a great stock one-sheet for this series in the early 1930s (likely in 1931; the poster is undated, but it has a litho number, and comparing this number to our massive database of litho numbers taken from actual movie posters, we can determine that this poster is almost certainly from 1931), and this poster has a nearly naked showgirl wearing a tiny costume! In 1935 they made a second stock one-sheet that says "A New Pepper Pot Novelty", and that one also has an image of a sexy woman, just not as exposed as the one on this poster (surely because of the Production Code, which was introduced in the interim)! If anyone knows more about this series or this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned four in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2003! Condition: fair to good. The poster was likely displayed outdoors at one time and it has pretty significant discoloration scattered in various areas due to exposure to moisture and some areas of rippling. It has separation and paper loss in a few portions of the borders and at the center crossfold. Certainly the ultra-rare poster could be backed and restored, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
