Date Sold 10/1/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 11 1/4" x 14" [29 x 36 cm] Still (Learn More) Rin Tin Tin is the most famous dog canine star ever! This German Shepherd was rescued in France at the end of World War I by U.S. Air Corporal Lee Duncan. He made his first movie in 1923, and by 1926, he was Warner Bros.' #1 star, and he made a total of 28 movies. He passed away in 1932 at the age of 13. One of his sons was quickly dubbed "Rin Tin Tin, Jr." and he starred in a number of films, but he was not the equal of his famous father. Rin Tin Tin was the most successful canine star of all time! AND Nanette was a German Shepherd dog canine actor from the 1920s to the 1930s. She only appeared in three movies: Tracked by the Police, Land of the Silver Fox, and The Test, and it is rumored that she only got those parts through the help of her boyfriend, Rin-Tin-Tin! If anyone knows more about Nanette, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 11 1/4" x 14" [29 x 36 cm]. Note that this is one of 80 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! We auctioned 100 other stills from this collection in our September Major Auction, and those mostly auctioned for between $30 and $250 each, with a few selling for more, with the highest selling for $535! Now we have 80 more from that collection in this set of auctions. James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
